Tash York loves to entertain. No doubt. From the moment she entered until she left the The Parlour tent her enthusiasm exuded forth and touched the audience. Tash also loves to drink wine and the show is all about this aspect of her life with a brief foray into relaying her reunion with her birth father and her happiness in finding love.
If you do not like drinking wine, being tea total or just a conservative sipper, this show is probably not for you. The predominately young (25 to 30-ish) audience however on this particular Thursday evening were on the whole, wine imbibers. They related to her escapades and reacted enthusiastically. Tash loves cats. I’m on her team there but whether or not Tash loves yoga is neither here nor there though all of above factors come to play and form the basis of her show. Highlights include the “Yoga with a Hangover” song (my title) and an improvised rap based on information from an audience member. Live music is always a treat and ably performed by guitarist Arthur Craig. Exuberant.
As the follow up to her first hit show These Things Take Wine, York has toured shows including Adulting, Badass and the After Hours Cabaret Club all across Australia, the Edinburgh Fringe and has even performed her work on cruise ships internationally. Her shows are always known for showcasing her dynamic energy, relatable stories, witty banter and incredible vocals.
