Cousin Tara

Comedy vampire, rock and roll suburbanite. Cousin Tara is a Melbourne-based musical comic, writer, and cabaret artist.

Her second full-length solo production, Wukkas, was nominated in 2020 for Best Cabaret at the Hobart Fringe at the Edge (F@TE) and re-imagined as an innovative digital release in June of last year with support of a City of Melbourne COVID-19 Arts Grant. Tara’s debut solo production, Taranoia, earned her critical acclaim at Melbourne Comedy Festival and ‘Spirit of the Fringe’, at F@TE 2019. Cousin

✨ The Downstairs R***e: A Review ✨

curated a totally exceptional lineup on Monday night. It was a joy to return to my cabaret home and find myself amongst super classy, encouraging and mega-talented performers with so much infectious energy and love of the game. The backstage vibe was magic and it spilled out onto the stage. If you were there, you would’ve felt it!

Thank you to dear familiars and unfamiliars who attended. The crowd was too perfect ❤️
