    We're giving away a double pass to see 'The Best (and Worst) of Queenie van de Zandt' at the Judy this Friday 18 May at 8pm. One of Australia’s best-loved cabaret and musical theatre stars, Queenie Van de Zandt, shares 21 years of bizarre theatrical experiences with hilarious anecdotes, insightful observations and beautiful songs.

    For a chance to win simply send an email to win@brisbanefestival.com.au with \"Queenie\" in the subject line. We announce the winner on Thursday morning. Good luck!
