In the 12th century, troubadours sang songs of chivalry to noble families. In the 21st century, Troubadette sings songs of bikini waxing, dismemberment, and some guy’s dick to anyone who’ll listen. Channeling the energy of a kindergarten teacher and the wisdom of your favourite wine aunty, Troubadette has been making musical mayhem across Aotearoa for over 20 years. Sugar sweet vocals and razor sharp lyrics combine to make memorable tunes you\u2019ll wish you didn\u2019t have stuck in your head during a staff meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n


Troubadette strikes a perfect balance between sincere and sarcastic in the award-winning\u00a0SPACE HOLE<\/em>.

\u2026her comedy is wonderfully weird, risqu\u00e9, and even a little dark.

Troubadette\u2019s comedy shines because of [the] eternal juxtaposition between the kitschy and bawdy. <\/p>– Theatreview, Dunedin Fringe<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
