TODAY IN AUS: THE BUTTERFLY CLUB'S 11th BIRTHDAY DOPPELGANGER PARTY!
TODAY IN AUS: THE BUTTERFLY CLUB'S 11th BIRTHDAY DOPPELGANGER PARTY!
THE BUTTERFLY CLUB (204 Bank Street, South Melbourne, VIC - 03 96902000 - ) will hold a special "doppelganger party" on Sunday, October 3rd, starting at 6:00 pm, to celebrate 11 years of Melbourne's kitschiest performance venue. Prizes are on offer for people dressed as a celebrity they look like. There are various definitions of the term 'doppelganger' but for the purposes of this celebration the club will be using the facebook-inspired one, whereby guests are invited to dress up as a celebrity they look like. After 11 years of unlikely staying power as an independent, non-publicly funded venue in an ever-fluid Melbourne arts scene, 11 years of discovering and nurturing new talent, of hosting always fun and sometimes naughty parties and shaking and stirring 100,000+ cocktails, it's time to party! The Butterfly Club has also been the launching pad for the annual Short+Sweet Cabaret festival (now in its third year) and the just-concluded, wildly successful Melbourne Cabaret Festival. There is no cover charge.
