Em Rusciano announces her 'Evil Queen' tour

Comedian and radio personality Em Rusciano will be back in Perth in 2018 with her new Evil Queen tour.

Rusciano will be taking her new live comedy show Evil Queen across the country from February through April next year, for her largest live performances to date after her last two tours completely sold out.

Forget Snow White, STFU Ariel… for young Em Rusciano it was always about the villainesses. Her childhood obsession with these betrayed, depressive, fabulously dressed women turned out to be excellent preparation for both her marriage and her career in radio.

Now, as Em hits the stage after a year of giddy highs and grinding lows… the time has come for her to unleash this inner evil queen. So be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls, for black glitter, white wine, spells, songs, unhealthy obsessions and high-end bitching.

The host of Sydney’s 2DayFM breakfast show The Em Rusciano Radio Show with Harley Breen, which also airs nationally from 7-8pm weekdays on the Hit Network and often reaches #1 on the iTunes charts with its catch-up podcast, is one of the most well-rounded and talented performers in Australia.

In the two years Em has released her debut single Versions Of Me, which peaked at #10 on the iTunes charts, published a bestselling memoir Try Hard – Tales From The Life of a Needy Overachiever and performed across the country to critical acclaim and sold out crowds on the Em Rusciano Is Not A Diva tour of 2016 and The Try Hard Tour (2016-2017.)

OUTinPerth went along to Rusicano’s 2016 Fringe World performance and declared it “Bossy, Bawdy and Brilliant!“. So we can’t wait to see what she has to say this time round.

Rusciano’s The Evil Queen tour kicks off on Saturday 17 February at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, before she heads our way for a show at the Riverside Theatre on Saturday 3 March.

Following her Perth gig she’ll be heading to Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on Saturday 24 March and the Sydney Opera House on Thursday 12 April. The final show of the tour will be at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre on Saturday 21 April.

Tickets are on sale Monday 6 November
