You never know what you’ll get at the Last Tuesday Society. The plagiarism edition show on 28 October at Yah Yah’s featured co-hosts Richard and Bron and the core regular acts (the Suitcase Royale, the Caravan of Love and Poet Laureate Telia Nevile) and some different acts. Elbow Room’s version of the pottery wheel scene from the film Ghost was disturbing and hilarious, and involved a spinning mound of jelly. It got messy.

Vic Healy.

Bad Father’s electropop and attitude were the highlight of the night for me.

Narelle Tolstoy (AKA Thomas Henning from Black Lung). What looked like a staged moment of ‘spontaneous’ exhibitionism allowed us all to contemplate his sack and crack wax job. Pacific Beach Butterfly also liked this.

Telia Nevile has amazing stage presence. Instead of the more familiar wry, self aware performance poet, Telia became a slinky jazz chanteuse.

Anna Pocket Rocket (and friend) with a different (and equally messy) copy of the pottery wheel scene from Ghost.

The Last Tuesday Society is one of the best nights of entertainment available in Melbourne. It fills Yah Yah’s on the last Tuesday of each month, and I am sure the November Christmas special show (their last for the year) will be brilliant.
