Article: Queering BWF 2018

Written for QNews Magazine, Issue #161, published 17 August 2018.

Gig Review: Regan Lynch Does It In Public

Written for 4ZZZ Reviews, published 13 May 2017. An electric guitar, a chord of coded hankies, a quick dose of PrEP, and…what could be mistaken for Eric Abetz’s actual face. ‘Regan Lynch Does It In Public’ is the comedic queercore burlesque number Brisbane was dying to have inside her. Between the punk red tartan kilt, […]
