My Life As A Dyke star Rachel Forgasz stars in this tragic tale of being the woman who everybody wants
Sassy, sexy, self-proclaimed diva Lola-On-Collins stars in her own show The Paris End with Lola-On-Collins,
a one-woman cabaret/comedy show sung in the style of Bassey. With the
tongue-in-cheek fashion you’ve come to expect from writer/performer Rachel Forgasz (My Life as a Dyke).
After a debut at the inaugural Melbourne Cabaret Festival in 2006, this return season of The Paris End with Lola-On-Collins will take you on a trip to discover the torturous tales of being the woman who everybody wants.
Rachel Forgasz works as a performer and producer of theatre and
has a long association with Midsumma, making up half of the duo behind
the immensely popular My Life as a Dyke trilogy. In Midsumma 2006, Rachel performed in a ‘best of’ season for My Life As A Dyke. Over the past seven years, the show has toured to festivals in Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney.
My Life As A Dyke was critically acclaimed. “It helps that
the show's two comediennes, Nik Willmott and Rachel Forgasz, are
terrifyingly talented. They own all the tools that good comic acting
requires: impeccable timing, the ability to improvise, a mastery of
physical comedy and an irrepressible sense of fun… The saucy
spoof-songs that pepper the show…are performed with a verve matched
only by Gina Riley at the height of her powers.” (Cameron Woodhead, The Age)
Aside from her work in My Life As A Dyke, Rachel is also an experienced cabaret/musical theatre performer, with previous cabaret credits including the devised work Not Just a Pretty Face and Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.
Her original cabaret characters and have been performed at a range of
venues including Gasworks Arts Park, the Butterfly Club, and Abode.
