Melbourne's Cabaret Darling Tash York And The After Hours Cabaret Club Head To Edinburgh Fringe

The After Hours Cabaret Club and Tash York's "Adulting" are packing the whisky and wine, loading up the weirdos and chicken nuggets, and heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! To help them get there they are hosting the hottest fundraiser in town at none other than the Toff in Town.

Adulting and The After Hours Cabaret Club have had huge success within the Australian Fringe circuits. They've had sell out seasons, 5 star reviews and even picked up an award along the way.But nothing can quite prepare you for the monster that is the world's biggest fringe festival the Edinburgh Fringe.

Hosting around 3500 shows, the Edinburgh Fringe is both the hardest and most exciting festival to be apart of in the world. It is a festival where legendary performers got their their start including the likes of Billy Connolly, Robin Williams, The Flight of the Conchords, Sammy J, Graham Norton, Tim Minchin and so many more.

This year award-winning cabaret star Tash York and international burlesque sensation Miss Bettie Bombshell are self producing their shows to make their debut at this incredible festival - which is very big deal but also am very expensive process! Both of these performers have performed in the Edinburgh Fringe before but this is their first time producing their own shows. In order to participate they are covering the costs of their own flights, accomodation, posters, publicity, venue hire, musicians, performer fees and.... the list goes on. "We've pretty much just taken all the money we've made on the show's this year and spent it to cover our costs for Edinburgh," says York. Both shows have been selected to perform at one of Edinburgh's most prestigious venue hubs in Underbelly, and this was obviously an offer they couldn't refuse.

You can understand that these working showgirls need all the help they can get when it comes to taking a show on the road. Especially when that road is about 17,000kms away! In order to help them cover costs they are hosting a fundraiser EXTRAVAGANZA where Melbourne audiences get to see not one, but both shows in full glory before they head overseas to take over the world (The world may or may not be taken over but at least you'll have a fantastic night at their show).

Save the date and join them for a night of award-winning cabaret, the hottest burlesque, the freakiest sideshow & other things you just didn't think were possible - while in process helping the dreams of Melbourne's local talent come true.
