🎬✨ Another fabulous afternoon with the Australian Marquee Entertainment Luncheon Club at the Emerald Hotel!

Every month, some of Australia's best-known faces from television, radio, film, comedy and music come together for great food, great company and even better stories.

This month's luncheon had a special twist, with the legendary Lee Simon stepping into the interviewer's chair to chat with the one and only Frankie J. Holden. The result? Plenty of laughs, unforgettable stories, behind-the-scenes memories and the kind of entertainment you simply can't stream!

A huge thank you to Lee and Frankie for making it such a memorable afternoon, and to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to do it all again next month!
