Overview

A crock pot of cracker hits!

Pack your mince pies and Christmas spirits – The Kransky Sisters are bringing the party back to town after a cracker sold-out 2024 season!

Travelling down in the trusty Morris from their hometown of Esk, the sisters are eager to share their unravelling stories along with home spun renditions of popular songs, deftly banged out on their wondrously odd-ball menagerie of instruments.

From Britney Spears to The Spice Girls, M to AC/DC, and carols like you’ve never heard them before, a night with this delightfully twisted trio will more than fill your Christmas stockings.

Lost love, home remedies, an old radio, and scrub turkeys … the sisters share with you their adventures and misadventures alike. Complete with Tuba, toilet brush, kitchen pot, biscuit tin and saw, reed keyboard and old guitar, this off-the-wall Christmas experience is not to be missed.  

  • One ‘helluva’ cracker of a show!
    Australian Arts Review
  • ... still one of the kookiest of Christmas parties you are ever likely to experience ...
    Blue Curtains Brisbane
  • They have carved out a niche for themselves in Australian comedy. They’re kind of like musically-inclined Antipodean cousins of The Addams Family – misfits with a taste for tropical gothic and an eerie nostalgia for a bygone Australia, a talent for weird instruments and music that ranges from eccentric to just plain creepy.
    Sydney Morning Herald
  • ... the secret to the Kransky’s success is the absolute comic and musical talents of their alter egos, Annie Lee, Christine Johnston and Carolyn Johns.
