Hold on to your bowler hats kiddos - Mommy & Daddy are about to take you to the school of cabaret (or is it cabarYAY). This week Velma is joined by legendary Australian cabaret artist, dancer, performer, choreographer, producer & creative director James Welsby (as well as legendary drag artist Valerie Hex) for a discussion on the history of cabaret. We look at the origins of cabaret, as well as some of the key figures, productions & venues specific to Australian cabaret (as well as pondering our own formative inspirations, experiences & the future of the industry).
Please note - Wine was absolutely consumed during the recording of this episode.
