Rayon Riot returns to celebrate all things women

Fresh off her sell out ‘Stories from Razorhurst’ production, Karlee Misi will take to the stage

The Naughty Noodle Fun Haus is ready to shake off the lockdown shackles and relaunch its 2022 program in time for International Women’s Day with their annual Cabaret event ‘Rayon Riot IV’ next month.

The fundraiser will be held at their Broken Bay Rd venue on March 12.

Now in its fourth year, the Rayon Riot is also a part of the broader Central Coast Festival of Women.

Creative Director, Glitta Supernova, said it would be an event to celebrate all things women.

“You betcha we are shining a spotlight on the breathtaking diversity of women’s voices again this year,” Supernova said.

“This year’s line-up includes the global phenomena, South Asian Matriarchs – The Bindi Bosses –hitting the Coast for one very special night only.

“Their mind-blowing performance shattering outdated stereotypes blending Semi-Classical Indian with Bollywood, Kuthu, Hip Hop, Dancehall and other dance styles from around the world.

“It’s all about fun and self-expression at the Noodle and we strongly encourage dress-ups so adorn yourself as your favourite Shero.

“It’s going to be a very special evening, so let’s get Matriarchal.

“Grab your partners, grandmas, sons and daughters or your entire gal pal crew for a wild and special evening celebrating all things women!”

Rayon Riot welcomes performer, writer, and producer Vashti Hughes to celebrate IWD

Rayon Riot will welcome performer, writer, and producer Vashti Hughes to the stage, and Karlee Misi who is fresh off her sell out ‘Stories from Razorhurst’ production.

The Maori/Niuean performing artist and triple threat has spent the past 16 years teaching and working in musical theatre and performing on global stages and screens.

Sydney-based performance artist Emma Maye Gibson (AKA Betty Grumble) will perform a genre smash of ritual physical theatre, cabaret, performance art and multi-media.

It’s also a night for locals to shine with singer-songwriter, Corrie Hodson, a proud Wiradjuri/Ngunnawal woman and Nina Angelo, a respected author and artist, involved in the celebratory event.

With this year’s International Woman’s Day theme of #BreakTheBias, the Noodle encouraged locals to celebrate women’s’ achievements as they raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.

The event will include ‘Suppa and a show’ with guest food curators from At Baker Street.

Dine and Discover vouchers can be used to book a spot.
