about us

We’re that person at a party everyone is attracted to.
They tell a good story, they’re exciting to be around, they express themselves boldly and live their lives fully.
Likewise, our entertainers, trucks, and out-there shows consistently draw a crowd and get people talking long after home time. And it’s not just the showmanship that sets us apart; it’s the people behind the scenes who get their hands (and occasionally minds) dirty turning mad ideas into bespoke experiences.
​
Our team of entertainers, stage managers, lighting and sound technicians, videographers, photographers, music directors, costume designers, event management and social media gurus support Sheree and Garrath in delivering one-of-a-kind, all-round awesome events across Victoria.
​
From concepts to costumes, the team is involved in every inch of our events and loving every minute of it.
Sheree

Sheree Matthews is a creative problem-solver and event producer with roots in performance, design, and social science. This eclectically skilled cat can give even the most vanilla events a wicked-cool edge, all while handling risk assessments and reporting with the other side of her brain.
Garrath
Creative Magician. Problem Solver. Venue Director.
Co-conspirator and events aficionado, Garrath Holt is best known as the owner of Red Bennies and as Managing Director of Velodrome Events and Director at Northcote Theatre. Like Sheree, Garrath’s love of circus and burlesque paired with his penchant for bold ideas keep Trucked Up true to the duo’s vision and both crowds and clients wanting more
Richard
Entertainment Manager. Magic Maker. Illusionist.
Richard Vegas is a NIDA graduate, an actor, director, magician, illusionist, performer, MC, magic and cabaret theatrical producer and director who has over two decades of experience in the entertainment industry.

The stage-to-truck concept was cooked up by Sheree Matthews and her partner, Garrath Holt, one night at Red Bennies (an iconic club that Garrath happened to own). The two plotted an entertainment shake-up that would challenge the confines of venues and bring the circus sideshow to the forefront of Victorian events in a way that hadn’t been done before. With a burlesque backdrop and a Creole Ti Holt cocktail in hand, the pair decided that the circus would indeed come back to town. On the back of a vintage dodge.
