With her wine-loving antics and witty repartee, Tash York is a multi-award-winning singer, improviser, cabaret performer, producer, podcaster and Emcee! Known for her ballsy voice, dynamic energy and an uncanny ability to rap on command, she is “the queen of Australian cabaret comedy” (Glam Adelaide).
Tash has performed to sold-out audiences at Perth Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne Cabaret Festival, Ballarat Cabaret Festival, Brisbane Wonderland Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and many more. You’ll find her at almost every major festival performing her solo comedy cabaret shows or onstage as the resident host of The Australian Burlesque Festival, Briefs:Sweatshop and The After Hours Cabaret Club.
She also features as a guest entertainer with P&O Australia performing her own shows to audiences across the world.
On the side, she co-hosts the very successful “Friends with Benefits Podcast” with Miss Burlesque Australia - Miss Bettie Bombshell, interviewing burlesque, cabaret and circus stars all over the world about their career highs, lows and how they got into the biz!
With her matchless brand of comedy-cabaret and incredible vocals, Tash York is full of exuberance, outrageous behaviour - She’s drag, she’s cabaret and she’s probably had a few wines. Meow Meow meets Bianca Del Rio… on budget!
