..... Noosa singer and musician Jonathan Anstock aka Leonard Cohen has long been fascinated by Cohen and for the last four years he has been doing something about it, being acclaimed by audiences not only locally but in Brisbane and throughout Queensland by presenting shows featuring aspects of the artist’s life.

Comments after his shows have included: “Oh my gosh! We’ve just seen the reincarnation of Leonard Cohen! Jonathan Anstock absolutely nailed this performance! Brilliant!”

“I truly ‘forgot’ I was watching Jonathan … and felt like that was ‘Leonard’ on stage.”

In 2024 he re-wrote an all-new cabaret show, “Leonard Cohen, His Life, Ladies and Lovers” and later this month he will bring the show to The Majestic Theatre in Pomona.

Says Jonathan: “I think with this new show I make a greater focus on Cohen’s life. I will be performing classics like “Hallelujah,” “So Long Marianne,” “Suzanne” and more.

“Cohen had a fascinating life of poetry, songwriting, drugs, sex, spiritual searching, depression, political thought and eventual peace.”

“Leonard Cohen, His Life, Ladies and Lovers.” Sat April 26 at 7pm. Majestic Theatre, Pomona. Tickets $40/$35. Bookings www.themajestictheatre.com.au
