The Year I Watched My Mum Die
Saturday 1 June 2024 from 7:30pm to 9pm Sunday 2 June 2024 from 7:30pm to 9pm
A hilarious and heartwarming story of a son giving up his life in London to come back to Australia to look after his dying mother. This cabaret is part of Qtopia Sydney Pride Fest.
Written and performed by multi award winning LGBTQIA+ Cabaret Artist and Opera Singer Damien Noyce.
Being a carer for someone is difficult and even more so caring for someone with advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease. This story is about leaving London in the middle of the lockdown and flying to Australia to look after his dying mother.
"Noyce's physicality and passion shook the entire theatre. Every time he took the stage he wowed" - Maddy Briggs from Limelight Magazine Australia
"A star is born tonight on that stage!" - Jamie Campbell (the real Jamie that inspired "Everybody's Talking About Jamie")
“You just saved me a years worth of therapy by seeing your show” - audience feedback
It's cabaret, it's drag, it's a true story.
