I Swear It Wasn't Me with Natalie May

Natalie May performs with her brand-new adults-only ventriloquist show, ‘I Swear It Wasn’t Me’—and she’s blaming the puppet for everything!
Growing up in a very conservative world before discovering that life is big and love is love, Natalie brings her own fearless evolution to the stage with honesty and heart.
Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, playful mischief, and the kind of humour that’s just the right side of scandalous; this is ventriloquism for grown-ups who like their comedy clever, a little bit daring, and utterly unforgettable.
Australia’s only female ventriloquist, Natalie has carved out a unique and highly respected place in the entertainment industry.
With television appearances on Hey Hey It’s Saturday and the Disney Channel, she has become one of the country’s most acclaimed live performers.
Her talent has earned her nominations for eight Australian Club Entertainment Awards and two coveted MO Awards.
Booked solid across kids’ shows, senior’s concerts, comedy events, adult cabaret performances, and cruise ships, Natalie’s versatility, sharp wit, and commanding stage presence continue to delight audiences wherever she performs.
Cost for entry is $5. To book a ticket, visit the Humanitix link at https://events.humanitix.com/natalie-may.

SUNDAY JUNE 28
Nappies and Comedy – Yass at Yazzbar
Finally, a comedy show where a crying baby doesn’t get you kicked out of the room!
‘Nappies and Comedy’ is a stand-up comedy show for parents who need a laugh but can’t find a sitter.
They are a judgment-free zone.
If you need to feed, change a ‘blowout,’ or rock a screaming infant, you are in good company – one of the comedians might even give you a hand!
Babies are free!
Their lineup features some of Canberra’s best comedians who are all parents themselves, delivering unfiltered material about the beautiful, sleep-deprived chaos of raising tiny humans.
They have traded the sticky nightclub floors for a space where you can park the pram, spread out a blanket for some tummy time, and get comfortable with your baby.
While they are baby-friendly, the jokes are strictly for the grown-ups, so they’re not really suited for bubs who have started picking up new vocabulary!
The event will be held at Yazzbar, 81 Comur St, Yass.
Tickets for mums and dads are $25 and can be booked via the Try Booking link at https://www.trybooking.com/events/1589620/sessions/6458072/sections/3067694/tickets.
And for any other further information contact 0414 574 010, or email sarahstewart07@gmail.com.
