Neville and partner David Read are co-Executive producers of the Melbourne Cabaret Festival – Described by The Age as the ‘Bart Cummings and Gai Waterhouse of cabaret’ (they dispute which is which), their instinct and understanding of the art form has resulted in the discovery of new performers who are now household names and the presentation of hundreds of new works that have thrilled audiences and kept them coming back for more. They also tour selected cabaret performances around Australia and overseas.

They have thrilled well over 100,000 paying audience members via their activities at The Butterfly Club, tours and now the Melbourne Cabaret Festival. They sold The Butterfly Club in January 2011 in order to focus on delivering the Melbourne Cabaret Festival. Neville and David are in constant demand from venues and festivals around Australia for advice and assistance in curating cabaret seasons and workshops.
