Festival of Voices

    Michelle Brasier: Average Bear

    A comedic musical show about life, loss & living fully

    What if the people you love kept dying?  

    What if you found out you might be next?  

    And what if a bear was afraid of hibernation? 

    Fresh from a sold out off-Broadway debut, comedy darling Michelle Brasier (Thank God You’re Here, Aunty Donna, Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell)  finally brings her award-winning show Average Bear to Festival of Voices, Hobart. A show that shines a light in the dark and turns grief to joy, Average Bear has sold out seasons across the world and been turned into a smash hit book, My Brothers Ashes Are In A Sandwich Bag. See this very special show, while you still can.  

    A heartbreaking & hilarious hour of musical comedy by one of the best voices in comedy, accompanied by Tim Lancaster on Guitar, Average Bear is a generous and joyful call to arms. A rallying cry to live every day as if it was our last because it very well may be.  

    If you found out you had less time than the average bear, how would you spend it?  

    ★★★★★ A miracle of a show – Nothing can prepare you for the pure magic of Average Bear. – The Sydney Morning Herald

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
