This crazed clairyoyant tells naughty fortunes, indulges in a romantic encounter with the Grim Reaper, and generally creates her own hilarious havoc throughout the show.

Catgut the jester is a dizzying fool whose antics defy sobriety!
She discovered a love of comic acting after playing the role of "Chang" in a high school production of "My Gun is Pink". She then won more roles throughout her school career, including the part of "Arlo" in "The Middle of Nowhere", "Liela" in "All About Eve", and Polonius in "Hamlet". In the new milennium, Sophie began studying Visual Arts at RMIT. She most recently ran riot as "Zack Freeman" in Lynne Ellis' adaptation of the children's novel "The Day My Bum Went Psycho". Sophie goes off like a frog in a sock in comedy theatre, and just may be crazy enough to do it for a job!... there's just no telling the youth of today...
Airguitario the Bard is a witty, intelligent, handsome, debonair, courageous, inspired, arty wanker. "The power of my music can reduce an audience to tears before the first chorus - most people are so moved they have to leave - how profound is that!" quoth the Bard.
'88-'91 - was spent finding herself around Byron Bay, whilst pursuing an undergraduate contemporary music hobby at University, at the completion of which she gave birth.
'92-'93 - "the conformist period" which found Bec performing and teaching at the world renowned "Pera Bore Community School", 30kms west of Bourke, and twelve hours from anywhere else. It was here in the desert that Bec performed her "Gidgee Concerto's", playing to rapt audiences of bedraggled itinerant farmworkers and assorted marsupials, and giving birth.
'94-'-5 - found Bec in Melbourne completing a Postgraduate degree in Ethnomusicology, which sounds very impressive and provided justification for playing something unpronounceable in an obscure Javanese orchestra. Her graduation was of course celebrated by the now ritualistic giving of birth.
'96-'98 - By way of maintaining her predictability, Bec produced the stageplay "Te Awa I Tahuti" (The River That Flowed Backwards) and performed with Maori Cultural Group Nga Hapu Katoa, whilst going occasionally to jail, where she and her children were family therapy for troubled yound women.
'99-'01 - Since finally kicking her addiction to maternity, Bec has gone quite berserk. Composing, performing, singing, teaching, painting and forming the ASTRAL CABARET. Gone is the naive waif who pounded the keys around the North Coast; gone is the 1/4 acre subdivided suburban brick veneer; gone are the offspring to school; it's time to settle down to the quiet materialistic hedonism of paying exorbitant rent in the inner city and eking out a living in the performing arts like the frustrated artist she has always hoped to be.
