Luke Heggie is coming to Bendigo 6 June 2026 - tickets available at https://www.bendigoregion.com.au/arts-culture-theatres/event/luke-heggie

This show is a compilation of bits, lovingly curated from the last five years. If you don't like that, you can rack off.

The exact same people who pay three figures to watch legacy bands playing songs from back when they were happy, will never forgive hearing the same set of words from a comedian. If that's you, you can rack off.

There will be one new joke in this show. The rest is old. Most comics have this protocol anyway, while making up a new title. They can rack off too.

Oshun is a colourful, vibrant story with dance, soul songs and live drumming, that takes you in the kingdom of the Yoruba (West African) Orishas (gods). Inspired by a myth from the Yoruba oral tradition, it tells how young Oshun, the goddess of love, femininity and sensuality, rails against ridicule and crippling self-doubt to prove to the other Orishas (deities) that her powers are in fact, potent.

This is a captivating 55-minute one-woman show where Amarantha embodies 9 different Orisha characters and is accompanied by drummer Adrian H. Hearn, who plays the rhythms of each Orisha on traditional Yoruba bata drums.
