Cousin Tara's Intervention Variety Hour

Tara’s here for an arty-party, but we're staging an intervention. As her dearest family and friends, you're the best chance she’s got.

Join Cousin Tara and special guest every night for a raging hour of eclectic cabaret, brilliant comedy and original music that will stick in your head from now until family Christmas (if we're all still talking by then).

Tara Leigh Dowler is a musical comic, writer, director and all round madcap entertainer delighting the young and old alike. She took home the ‘Spirit of the Fringe’ award at the Hobart Fringe at the Edge of the World in January 2019 and hit Melbourne International Comedy Festival hard and fast with her debut solo show Taranoia at The Butterfly Club. She forms one half of acclaimed feminist ­comedy­ cabaret duo Pink Flappy Bits ("controversial." - Herald Sun) and appears regularly with the Two Little Dickheads ("a bombastic doozy, if there ever was one." - Australian Arts Review; MICF) and The Spoon Monkeys ("fun, solid clowning ­improv from masters of the genre." - Improv Attacks Humanity).
