The wonderful Karen From Finance our favourite corporate queen is bringing all the drama, wigs, wit and lip-syncing to Castlemaine for her new show ‘Doing Time’ at the Theatre Royal tonight, May 5.
Castlemaine is Karen’s eighth stop on her brand new 30 plus date tour of four countries including Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Best known as a finalist on hit TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race Downunder, Karen is a true trailblazer of the industry and has been leading queen on the Aus scene for over a decade.
A follow-up to her award-winning debut stage tour, Out Of Office – Karen From Finance tours this hilarious new one-woman show across the country for the next two months.
Like Erin Brockovich, Elle Woods, Kim Kardashian, and the many iconic female law-minds before her, Karen From Finance steps into the courtroom – of course wearing her finest stiletto and brief-case to boot.
The courtroom-aesthetic looks unsurprisingly good on Karen. But she is in trouble… Karen has cooked the books and is headed for the lock-up. Will she prove her innocence? Will she walk free? Perhaps our favourite straighty-180 accountant isn’t so innocent after all…
Karen told the Mail she is looking forward to her first performance in here in Castlemaine.
“I visited Castlemaine a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the chance to check out a few cafes and Love Shack Brewing.
“I can’t wait to hit the stage at the historic theatre and I am thrilled my local show coincides with the Castlemaine Pride Week,” she said.
Karen says she really felt the love with her debut show Out of Office and looks forward to bringing the new offering to her legion of fans and new audiences.
“I love taking Karen out from behind the desk and placing her in new situations. This time Karen is accused of tax fraud and is facing prison time. The audience is in for a fun, silly and outrageous ride but the show also has a political undertone and message,” she says.
“I will be joined at the local gig by Castlemaine favourite the gorgeous Dolly Diamond a long time friend of mine. It’s really wonderful to be able to bring in other performers, mix it up and bring a new energy and dynamic to each show,” she said.
“It’s going to be a fabulous night to remember!”
There will also be a chance for local fans to enjoy a ‘Meet and Greet’ with Karen prior to the show.
