Stand-up comedian, singer, writer and broadcaster Em Rusciano is touring Australia this July and August. She's launching her 'The Rage and Rainbows Tour' at Melbourne's Hamer Hall then will proceed to cracking audiences up at Federation Concert Hall in Hobart, Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Riverside Theatre in Perth and Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The final show will be at Sydney's State Theatre.
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."
