Concrete Playground

Take one look at Tasia and you're her kitten forever. This Sydney burlesque star has shimmied her way through numerous eras — as one third of the Belladonnas de Lux and in her own international solo career — wowing audiences through the nostalgic exotica of the cheeky tease. When Tasia takes to the stage the world becomes nothing more than a spotlight and the feeling that you've smoked a whole ounce of Tom Waits through your ears.

And now she's at the Vanguard to serve up lunch for three damn tasty, melted cheese evenings. Taking turns to plate up entertainment are Lillian Starr, Katherine Lambent, Erin Black, Anthony Howe and jack of all underground trades, Jay Katz.
