A cabaret about following your heart… through your cat’s stomach.
Cousin Tara is seeking life advice from her cat, whose depraved appetite has earned him the nickname ‘Bootersloot’. This feline really lives life to the full; but realistically, we can’t all have our cake and eat it too… right?
Comedic chaos is balanced with sincerity and warmth in Cousin Tara’s latest hour of buttered-up, cat-loving cabaret, leaving audiences uplifted and tapping their feet as they go.
Fresh from its highly praised Comedy Festival season, Bootersloot is a dish too rich to miss.
Cousin Tara is Melbourne’s own guitar-slinging cabaret rockstar known for her catchy melodies and powerhouse pipes. Her comedy hour Wukkas garnered award nominations at festivals around the country and enjoyed a digital release with support from the City of Melbourne. Bootersloot is her fourth solo show and promises big laughs, catchy original music, and a fresh take on finding life’s sweet spots.
Audience praise for Bootersloot:
‘An absolute scream... [Cousin Tara is] so talented and naturally hilarious’
