Designated “not mainstream enough” for the official Sydney Mardi Gras, the Trio have nevertheless scored direct hits with audiences around the country since their highly charged debut at last year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival. According to group member Cameron Sharp, the Trio’s satirical services have been donated to environment organisation Friends of the Earth, “because they do great work and they laugh at our jokes. But mostly because they laugh at our jokes”. So what’s in store for audiences at the Trio Gusto gig? “We perform musical satire which is a really entertaining way of commenting on the state of the nation,” says Cameron, “whether that be politics, the environment or social icons. We re-write our material constantly to keep up to date and we’ll be sure to sneak in a few jokes on the latest hot topics.” Combining stunning operatics and 30’s Jazz, dance and mayhem, Trio Gusto promises a weird, wacky and wildly funny night out.
