IDenTITTY Comes to The Butterfly Club in January

After months of moving about the house with my shoulders hunched and chest awkwardly concave, my mum has no choice but to take action. She drives me to the local mall to acquire my very first bra. It is November 1993. I am 10 years old.

25 years, 6 cup sizes and hundreds of bras later, I wonder how much my breasts have impacted on my life, my view of the world and its view of me?

Newly minted Melbournian, Kitty Van Horne makes her cabaret debut at The Butterfly Club in January, presenting her original show iDenTITTY - A cabaret adventure into the world of breast ownership. One woman, two boobs (and one piano man).

Spilling over with brash tunes and bawdy tales, iDenTITTY is a celebration of Kitty's personal experiences and an opportunity to poke at the myths and realities of the body as private space, political subject and cultural object.

A singer from a young age, Kitty has always relished any opportunity to perform. When she entered the Sydney Burlesque scene in the mid 2000s her love of entertaining and her appreciation for vintage fashion and design found the perfect outlet. For the next six years she shared her special brand of cabaret and musical theatre inspired burlesque routines with audiences in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Before she moved to Melbourne she was proud to be one third of the Sydney harmony group 'The Hollywood Honeys'. She has also dabbled in community musical theatre productions (which she highly recommends as a post-relationship-break-up activity).

iDenTITTY opens on Thursday January 25 and runs for 3 NIGHTS. Bookings recommended.
