It’s a cabaret at the Late Night Library

The City’s libraries will be brimming with talent this spring as performers deliver quick and quirky evening shows featuring comedians, writers, storytellers and musicians.

The late night library line-up includes Olympic gold medallist Matthew Mitcham on his prized ukulele, Maxine Kauter, Jared X Jekyll, Annaliese Constable, Lady Sings it Better, and the Battle of the Bands – where the audience chooses the worst.

Launching the spring program, Lord Mayor Clover Moore encouraged Sydneysiders to visit Late Night Library for an unforgettable and thought provoking evening of entertainment.
