Em Rusciano is back with a brand-new live experience and her first big national tour since her wildly successful 'Rage and Rainbows' show in 2019, and look yes, she is still angry, but now she knows why. 

Em Rusciano in conjunction with Frontier Touring presents - Outgrown. 

Em Rusciano says: “The last five years have been brutal, beautiful and bonkers. To be completely honest, they challenged everything I ever believed about myself, to my core. Not to be dramatic, but the term “complete ego death” wouldn’t be out of place here. I’m limping out the other side of it now and felt that it was high time I got myself back on a stage, in an elaborate costume, to work shop my trauma, via an over the top all out musical comedy extravaganza. As one does!” 

Covering all corners of the country, Em plays Toowoomba, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Bunbury, Ballarat, Newcastle, Canberra, Albury, Launceston, Hobart and Melbourne. 

Frontier Member presale commences Friday 19 April from 12noon local time before the general on sale kicking off Tuesday 23 April from 10am local time.  Tickets and tour info frontiertouring.com/emrusciano

Since last you met, Em was given the surprise diagnostic trifecta of - ADHD, Autism and behind door number three: early menopause! Any one of these revelations would rock most people to their core, but Em’s always been a show off, so of course she had to win at diagnosis Yahtzee. 

Once she picked herself up off the ground (it took one to two business working years) she set about exploring what all of this meant, and along the way delivered a powerful speech about finding out she was neuro-divergent, at the National Press Club of Australia.  

Outgrown is a hilarious, searing and multi-sensory look at the beauty that can emerge, after everything has been burned to the ground.
