Lights, camera, pyrotechnics! Tuck Shop, presented by Tone & Cheek Productions, is the party that only the fabulously camp could dream up! This year they take on the main stage at the Ice Cream Factory.

Hosts Cougar Morrisson and Fay Rocious, lead some of Perth’s most deliciously (and sometimes deliriously) talented stars of circus and burlesque through a sixty minute romp.

It’s high octane disco as we open with ‘Le Freak’ and ‘You Should be Dancing’ with a sexy cast of high heeled, short skirted, naughty employees of Tuck Shop. Ellie, the shows incredibly talented vocalist elevates the mood and adds depth to the show’s already inspiring acts.

Ellie’s rendition of Sneaky Sound System’s, ‘Kansas City’ urged me to party in my seat as I was equally locked in on the aerialist…informally known as Dorothy with her dog, Toto. Its ending had me rolling! Don’t sit in the front row if you don’t want to get wet! But do if you want close ups of some amazingly athletic bodies!

The show follows on with intermittent battles between the drag queens and lots of crowd interaction. Sword swallowing by the ever-so-talented Dale Woodbridge-Brown had me vicariously gagging and dry retching. Matty Pope never looked better in a G-String while hanging from some ropes. With so many other talents on board, you simply must experience it for yourself.

This is an unapologetic celebration of everything we love about queer, gender-bending culture. Leave the kids at home, get strapped in and enjoy the very twisted ride.
