THE CHAOS CLUB – PUNK /ALTERNATIVE COMEDY MUSIC NIGHT
The Chaos Club is a unique alternative comedy/ music night, founded by satirical punk comedian Helchild, in Perth in 2013.
The Chaos Clubs has more than lived up to its name as a night of rebellious, deborcherous anarchy. Full of surprises, spontaneity and experimental mayhem. Other Perth gigs have copied it, but none have matched it.
Helchild created the show to promote non-mainstream comic performers, musicians and her friend’s punk bands, all of whom were having a hard time getting paid gigs on the ‘beige’, conservative and blatanly sexist and homophobic Perth performance circuit.
Chaos Club, as it was known then, began its first gig at the The Beat and its next five gigs at the Rosemount Hotel. Chaos Club 7, in 2014, was held at the Velvet Lounge. The show has always been produced and MCd by Helchild, with help from fellow Chaos performers and friends, on a monthly and bi-monthly basis.
The Chaos Club has featured top Perth artists including Ben Elliott, Jon Madd , Sean Conway, Pitbull From Perth and Tim Parkin. Plus some of Perth’s best Punk Bands including, The Deniros, The Shakeys, Aborted Tortoise, The Insinnerators… and Perth Punk legends, Dead Babies In Vomit.
In mid 2014, Helchild was hit by car and the show was put on hold until her recovery. Now with her recovery almost complete, Helchild is preparing new Chaos shows for late 2015.
