A Night Where Anything Can Happen
After more than a decade producing acclaimed live entertainment experiences across London, Los Angeles and Australia, Nick Hardcastle is bringing his signature brand of star-powered entertainment to the heart of Sydney.
Show Up is a modern variety show featuring world-class performers, celebrity guests, emerging artists and unexpected moments.
One night might feature a star of a major musical, a chart-topping recording artist and an award-winning comedian.
The next could include a circus act, television personality, drag icon or Broadway performer.
No two shows are ever the same.
The only guarantee is that you’ll leave with a story to tell.
The Audience Gets A Chance Too
Throughout the night audience members may be invited to participate in games, challenges and surprise moments.
There are prizes to be won, stories to be shared and opportunities to step briefly into the spotlight.
After all…
You didn’t just come to watch.
You came to Show Up.
