Mondo Fondue is a monthly night dedicated to showcasing unknown and underrated performers existing well outside the mainstream of Sydney’s arts and music scene. The brainchild of former Chauvel Cinematheque curator Brett Garten, and musician and street anthropologist Richard D’Adonna, Mondo Fondue promises something new and weird every month. Mondo Fondue is on the first Thursday of every month at Sydney’s bar / restaurant / record shop The Record Crate.
