Welcome to the Fabaret!
Naidoc Week Celebration
Steven Oliver is back at La Boite – bigger, Blacker and just as gloriously cheeky as ever.
Best known as the star and writer of ABC’s smash-hit Black Comedy, Oliver is a self-confessed “Faborigine” and born showman. Joined on stage by Helpmann Award-winning cabaret star Michael Griffiths, together they serve up a wildly entertaining night of comedy, storytelling and song.
And nothing is off limits. From growing up gay and Aboriginal in regional Queensland to finding fame on national television, Oliver shares the hilarious, heartbreaking and occasionally outrageous moments that made him who he is. There’s love.
There’s loss. There’s sex. There’s success. And there’s the complicated business of finding your place in the world when, as Oliver puts it, you’re “a minority within a minority”.
Featuring a three-piece band and brand-new original songs spanning perky pop, urban rap and tender lullabies, Oliver and Griffiths deliver a night that’s hilarious, heartfelt and unmistakably their own.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the stories. Leave a little more fabulous.

#Reviews
“Oliver can write songs full of intricate wordplay and hummable tunes, sing them in a sweet baritone straight out of the cabaret tradition (or a breath-defying rap flow worthy of Briggs), tell stories that balance universal humour with First Nations activism and move like he’s in one of his beloved Whitney Houston videos."
The Sydney Morning Herald
Bigger & Blacker' is the unmissable retelling of Steven Oliver’s life.
Scenestr
the artist is characteristically flamboyant, but the underlying gravity of his raison d’etre is always apparent.
Suzy Goes See
A powerful hour that deftly leaps from darkness to light and back again
