Meet Aunty Maria from the Philippines (Janette McBride) and Aunty Rani from Sri Lanka (Himali Ratnayake)—two fiercely fabulous women equipped with brutally honest wisdom, practical life hacks, and hearts bigger than their rice cookers. After dishing out their no-nonsense advice, they’ll spin off into improvised scenes and characters inspired by your dilemmas.

As the current reigning queens of Brisbane’s Big Fork Theatre Cage Match, expect a night of outrageous fun, nods to culture, and maybe even a few life revelations.

Darlings, come and share the tea with your Aunties!
