Em Rusciano – The Rage and Rainbows Tour
The unstoppable force of female empowerment, nurturing motherhood and sheer moxie that is Em Rusciano is all set to give us sore bellies yet again this July and August with her 'The Rage and Rainbows Tour'. The stand-up comedian, singer, writer and broadcaster will be providing total entertainment to audiences in Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney.
Last year has been huge for Em—she had a baby, turned 40, left a high profile job and had a combined 45 minutes sleep. There's been next-level rage. There's also been love. There's been day drinking and breastfeeding ... no, not at the same time.
With her 'The Rage and Rainbows Tour', Em is finally giving voice to that gnawing rage that all of us try to hide. She's unleashing the rage, dunking it in white wine, rolling it in glitter, and giving it an eight-piece back-up band and four costume changes. She's also going to tell you what you can do with it, to send it on its way.
She has also teamed up with MSquared Productions, as well as Australia's 2019 Eurovision representative, the ridiculously talented Kate Miller-Heidke, and her partner Keir Nuttall to write original, fabulous songs especially for the tour. The songs are now available, and learning all the words so that we can have a knee-trembling singalong is strongly encouraged.
As Em puts it, "Now, listen here: I want you to learn them before the show. Study them. Press play/pause on your stereo and write out the lyrics while lying on your bed with a lollipop, like the good ol' days. I want you to be able to sing along with me, lighter in the air, hand on your heart."
"Had the crowd utterly spellbound." - Herald Sun
"Hilarious." - Theatre People
"Manic hilarity, chaotic extroversion and one huge and beautiful voice." - The Age
'The Rage and Rainbows Tour' is more than a show. It's a festival for anyone who's felt fed-up, furious, exhausted, demoralised ... but still maintained a passion for sequins. If you're one of these people, then grab your tickets 'cause Em Rusciano would surely love to see you let it all loose on one of her shows!
