💥 NEW EPISODE DAY 💥

This weeks guest is the premiere 'corporate' queen of Melbourne, Australia. She lives alone with her budgie 'Dantè' and enjoys tax time, office-based bonding activities, and invoice archiving.

Specialising in BAS statements, Payroll Systems, and Accounts Payable, Karen From Finance takes her role in the office very seriously. She never leaves a Manilla folder unturned. Karen celebrates her New Years on July 1st each year, and isn't shy of the odd Friday night after-work drink with the ladies.

Tash York & Miss Bettie Bombshell - Entertainer have been working hard, drinking bottles of Naked Wines Australia, and chatting with one of Australia's best! We have a HUGE episode being released tomorrow, can you guess who we are featuring?

23/09/2020

🖤 IT'S NEW EPISODE DAY 🖤
Tash York & Miss Bettie Bombshell - Entertainer sat down over a bottle of Naked Wines Australia chat to our long time gal pal, burlesque superstar and dedicated goon drinker Memphis Mae!

Her showbo secret is simple, don't drive to a gig because you will get pi**ed on free champagne & always p*e 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.

💥 NEW EPISODE DAY FRIENDS! 💥

We have a special guest all the way from somewhere vague in Germany! He has appeared on America's 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, s*x 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.

🥰 NEW EPISODE DAY 🥰
This week Tash York & Bettie Bombshell had the honour of chatting to an entertainer, a mentor & damn fine producer. It's the unapologetic, unfiltered, unbothered Daddy Doe! We talk about her recent performer name change (formally Miss Jane Doe) and what it means to solidify and understand your brand, and that time Daddy was so tired at fringe she forgot to take her costume off and p*e'd through her G-string!

All this over a bottle of Shiraz from our sponsor Naked Wines Australia.

Congratulations to our incredible past guest, Melbourne's own Leasa Mann for teaming up with BPay to bring some light to a dark time. Leasa has been busily working away these past months providing much needed financial assistance to those that have lost their source of income during the COVID pandemic.

She began the initiative via Facebook simply asking if anyone needed a bill paid, as she was generously offering to cover the cost. No questions asked, just a bit of help for those who were in a tight spot. The project then grew with other people from our community offering to lend a hand, and so many bills were covered for those who were suffering financial hardships.

We are so thrilled to see her hard work recognised with a fabulous new partnership with BPay! We absolutely adore you Leasa, and the work you have done and continue to do it's an absolute inspiration to us all.

🍷 IT'S HERE IT'S HERE 🍷
Season two of Friends with Benefits - The Podcast, sponsored by Naked Wines Australia is here! We were so thrilled to chat to our long time gal pal, and queen of Australian circus Malia Walsh! This rockstar is a founding member of Circus Trick Tease & a driving force producing and directing the companies works over the years including the self titled Circus Trick Tease, ‘Straya and Can’t Face.

She's created shows for Circus Oz, sold out entire Edinburgh Festival Fringe seasons, all with two kids tucked away backstage somewhere. We find out the hilarious/ disgusting thing she did before running on stage at After Hours Cabaret Club, and how that inner saboteur can strike no matter how accomplished you are!

👑 We've got a big one for you friends! 👑

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of chatting with a long time friend, and a true icon of the cabaret, burlesque, comedy & circus worlds, Clara Cupcakes! We casually talk about the time a thruple of boomers interrupted her show with a good old fashioned, in the audience finger bang, how the global pandemic has effected her life both on and off stage, and the importance of finding performance spaces that let you make mistakes. Because after all, that is how we grow.
