From the moment Aunty Jonny took the stage the audience was ready to dance. It was a flashback to the 1980s, when Blue Light Discos were introduced by local police as a way to engage youth in a bit of clean fun. Only this time, everyone was over 18 and the punch had been spiked!

“No touching on the dance floor, unless you have a permission slip from home”, actor Duncan Fellows (also known as Glenn Twenty) joked at the beginning of the evening. 



It was an evening of great 80s music, including a very energetic YMCA towards the end of the night, that kept everyone on their feet. There were prizes for Best Dressed and Fanciest Footwork.

The performers were a star-studded cast of Australian actors, comedians, and performers, including Jonny Hawkins, Duncan Fellows, Jane Watt and Cheryn Frost. Together they took up roles as the “fun-police” and engaged with audience members throughout the night.
