Daddy Doe - Tied up balloons look like assholes.

Friends, it's season 2! New season, same pandemic. Tash & Bettie are recording from the comfort of their own self isolation stations. It's Covid times, and your gals are backstage, pushing on heels first with wine in hand.

This week we had the honour of chatting to daddy. She is. A multifaceted, creative powerhouse. An entertainer, a mentor & producer. It's the unapologetic, unfiltered, unbothered Daddy Doe! She is an advocate for diversity and intersectionality within the arts, dedicating a large portion of her time to work to provide a safe and accepting space and community. We talk about her recent performer name change (formally Miss Jane Doe), what iso.2 looks like for each of us in the arts, and that time Daddy was so tired at fringe she forgot to take her costume off and pee'd through her costume. All this over a bottle of Shiraz from our sponsor Naked Wines Australia.

This week we had the honour of chatting to Australia's only Miss Exotic World. That's right folks, she is Australia's queen of burlesque... literally. She has the crown to prove it! From living through the AIDS epidemic, to being a club kid in London, to starting a family back in Australia whilst being an in demand showgirl this woman has done it all. This is hands down of the most fascinating episodes we have ever recorded, and we can't wait for you to hear her story. It's the iconic, Imogen Kelly.

But first get to know us!

Miss Bettie Bombshell is the current Miss Burlesque Australia, she's performed at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas - 3 times AND she's a kick ass producer (The After Hours Cabaret Club). Of course it wouldn't be friends without her best pal - cabaret wineo, MC and award-winning artist Tash York. Together the two have sold out 5 star shows in Edinburgh, Adelaide, Melbourne AND have been kicked out of places you can only dream of.

We unfortunately had a guest cancel at the last minute, so we scrolled around Facebook and found someone that was online. We found Reuben Kaye... an international superstar that has graced many random bedrooms all around the globe!

It really is hard to write a jazzy intro for this artist, because he is one of the greatest entertainers in the world. A true cabaret icon, MC extraordinaire, writer, comedian with the longest legs in the biz! Reuben has taken the world by storm with his one of a kind persona, and has even managed to bribe his way onto Channel 4 in the UK. There is no one else quite like Reuben Kaye, and honestly that's probably a really good thing. We chat about COVID-19 and how it's helped us realise that boxed wine is a totally acceptable form of alcohol, as well as Reuben's latest project UN-WINE-D! The only guided meditation with a wine pairing.

Because after all, that is how we grow.

In this episode Tash & Bettie had the pleasure of chatting to a man once described as "so fucking good that I’m convinced he’s stolen talent from other artists in some sort of supernatural embezzlement scheme". Honestly, the chattiest mime we've ever come across, and he is just so damned flamboyant he MUST be a magician, not a bisexual man. It's the multi award nominated, see him before he becomes really famous comedy genius, Patrick Collins!

Meet your hosts, international Cabaret & Burlesque artists Miss Bettie Bombshell and Tash York. In this episode we had the opportunity to chat to a stand-up comedian that is doing things a little different.

We discuss the power of 'painting on your character' and the importance of being your true self stage! This talented woman knows sometimes all you need is a face mask to purify the soul & a good head of washed hair to make people say 'omg! did you get your hair done!?'. She is bridging the gap between the drag & stand up comedy worlds with her fresh take on the industry, and perhaps terrifying a few children along the way. It's the superstar, Charity Werk!
