You've seen us on telly, now book us to fix your telly. Once you've seen us 'tread the boards', book us to build your boardwalk! With more than 95% of entertainers out of work at any one time, it's no wonder many have developed a second profession, often a really useful trade. And with so much time to spare - they're damn good at it!

So if you're looking for more than a just a tradie, give the guys n' gals at Practical Performers a try. It's a new way the VABT is helping the entertainment community to help themselves.

VABT RAISES $2,000

The event of the year proved to be an excellent start with the trust raising $2,000 to help those most in need in the community.


The night was hosted by Mark Mitchell whilst Jane Clifton provided a divine musical interlude. Guests sipped champagne and nibbled canapes all with the beautiful St Kilda night sky as a backdrop in the Hotel Barkly's beautiful venue Next Level.

Silent auction items included a personal tour of the Neighbours set for four, a signed Boy From Oz record, MTC and Malthouse tickets plus loads more.  Finally the Hotel Barkly generously donated a nights accommodation for two in one of their luxurious boutique hotel rooms.
