A SOLO STORYTELLING POLE DANCING SHOW One Person. One Pole. One Hour. Take a behind the scenes detour on this journey of a tomboy pole dancer, as she is unexpectedly called up to the biggest stage in the world - a stage full of the most iconic, glamorous, and glittering pole dancers in the land! ‘THE POLE SHEBANG’ is a coming of middle age story by a neurodivergent gender rebellious Asian-Canadian/Australian navigating the glitzy shadows of the pole dance world, where she’s always just a little bit late and a little bit left of centre stage. ANDREA JAMES LUI, originally from Canada, is a theatrical trailblazer in the Australian pole community. With a background in theatre, stage combat, and sketch comedy, she is best known for her energetic & versatile style - performing, competing, and teaching for the last 10+ years, including at Sydney Opera House, Adelaide Fringe Festival, and Miss Pole Dance Australia. “A FUN HIGH-ENERGY ROMP... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED” “THE FINAL NUMBER IS PURE NERD CULTURE JOY” "FUNNY, SERIOUS, THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND PLAYFUL" THE POLE SHEBANG - Midsumma Festival * Content Warning: Contains strong language, flashing lights, audience participation.
