The Beautiful Losers are Offending the Vast Majority of Australians – THIS WKND @ The Butterfly Club
Friday, September 11, 2009 at 11:39AM

Last year, after an appearance at an arts festival in regional Victoria, The Beautiful Losers suddenly found themselves on the front pages of The Age and The Australian newspapers, as the subjects of a delightful political scandal.
The then Leader of the Federal Opposition, Dr Brendan Nelson MP, accused Prime Minister Rudd of indirectly supporting a trio of entertainers who would 'offend the vast majority of Australians.'
After ‘offending’ their way to dual Green Room Awards and a Melbourne Fringe Award, these three veterans of the Melbourne Fringe, Cabaret and Comedy Festivals return to their ‘spiritual home’ for late-night R-rated antics throughout September.
'4 stars – Breathtaking, challenging, disturbing and excellent' - The Age

'A glorious dissection of the dregs of life' - DB Magazine, Adelaide
'This is a show that would offend the vast majority of Australians' - Dr Brendan Nelson MP, then Leader of the Federal Opposition, speaking to the national press outside Parliament House in May 2008
