About this event

Using the portal of glamour, seduction and powerhouse vocals, Rizo welcomes you into her prismatic world where the femme divine reigns.

A joyful, sensorial, combustible mix of rock and roll bravado, vintage pop diva and comedic antics, Rizo has won a cult following worldwide. Come join the fun for an evening of radical optimism as she holds the beauty and sorrow of life in her tiny hands.

"It’s really all about the songs and that incredible voice...deserves a full house every night." - Herald Sun

Doors 7pm, Show 8pm

"Rizo practically has the word "talent" tattooed on her forehead." - Wall Street Journal

"Sensational.. Rizo makes connections between performer and audience that are impossible in any other context" - The New York Times

"The glamour puss Lady Rizo is the alter-ego of Amelia Zirin-Brown, and a diva par excellence. The character and the real woman meld in a show that displays plenty of wit but also real tenderness." - The Guardian

Rizo herself is patently bright, a witty raconteur blessed with an incandescent talent... a real glamourpuss. But it’s the “real” Rizo, not just the surface image, which is especially appealing. - The Times London

Described as “SENSATIONAL... a fierce but kindhearted fusion of comedy, burlesque, performance art and rock ‘n’ roll” by The New York Times, Rizo will present a powerhouse delivery of fan favorites and a lot of raunchy razzle dazzle.

An international cult favorite, her stage shows bring her powerhouse vocals together with seductive storytelling and wild hilarious audience experiments. Rizo is a provocateur with an electric wit, and has been called a “diva par excellence” by The Guardian. In the studio she has collaborated with Moby, Reggie Watts, and Yo-Yo Ma; whose album Songs of Joy & Peace, which features Rizo, won a Grammy Award.

Rizo has also received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, a Time Out London theater award, and a London Cabaret Award. Currently starring in the role of Madame Zinzanni in the revival of the much beloved Teatro ZinZanni and is in development for a television project with Michael Carbonaro of the popular series “The Carbonaro Effect.”

Similar to all of Rizo’s shows, there is an underlining tone of a healing, metamorphosis, “sex-positive performance art” and female collaboration layered into each element of the show.

“I'm a true showbiz animal but hidden within the show, underneath all the entertainment are these secret rituals and authentic expressions of myself,” says Rizo.
