COVID diaries, Day 6 - Imogen Kelly - Just a little tumble weed.

1h 28m · Friends With Benefits with Tash York and Bettie Bombshell · 16 Jun 19:49

In this special broadcast Tash & Bettie are recording from the comfort of their own self isolation stations. That's correct it's Covid - 19 Global Pandemic times, and your gals are backstage, pushing on heels first with wine in hand!

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.

Her weaknesses include the ATO, Revolver, cute temps from the Agency and conjoined paper clips.

This weeks guest was born under a wandering star, she popped out naked and remains that way today. She is known for her unique and ridiculous Burlesque / MC work around the globe, attacking the stage faster than you can scream "Show us your tits" with energy, crass, nuggets and wine. Her showbo secret is simple, don't drive to a gig because you will get pissed on free champagne & always pee before you put on your merkin. Don't know what a merkin is? Well listen to the dang episode! She is here to make you question your life choices, it's the mediocre Memphis Mae.

We have a special guest all the way from somewhere vague in Germany! He has appeared on Americas got Talent TWICE, and is basically best friends with Tyra Banks now... Just don't tell her we said that. It's the international superstar, sex symbol, home-wrecker, accordionist & Berlin boy Wonder, HANS! (aka matt). We meet the man behind the sequinned lycra, and hear all about the time he choked on a sausage, was it for publicity or was it life threatening? The time he had the opportunity to work with Jennifer Lopez's choreographer, and how he keeps that cheeky inner saboteur at bay.

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.
