So it is told that someone once accidently rubbed a whiskey bottle in the gutter and lo! Miss Tess emerged, loud and smokey, now free to shimmy about brisvegasbaby disguised as somekindofa poet...She has since been delighting audiences at Woodford Folk Festival, the Brisbane Writers and Qld Poetry Festivals, the Tivoli and Globe Theatres, live radio, a black box in Nambour and numerous other dark and dodgy places. Last year she also appeared with her tipsy cabaret troupe... The Moonshine Cooperative, avec Brisbane's fabulous Tnee at le keys and the burlesque-esque sensation Gemma Collett of Melbourne. Various accolades to date include the People's Choice Award at the Performance Poetry World Cup, Qld finalist in the Australia Slam, winner in the QPF Poetry Unearthed comp and, ahem, regular slam virtuoso in general. These days she's rumoured to be playing in the ouTsideRs phenomenon, a rogue collective (read: Ghostboy and Maiden Speech) infecting Brisbane with notorious monthly art/chaos evenings in the West End... achtung eh.As a performance artist, spoken word entrepreneur and purveyor of forbidden fruits, Miss Tess cordially invites you to tipple her multilingual, transcontinental smorgasbord of slap-cabaret sights and arguably sagacious sounds, never failing to tittilate, disorientate and somewhat disgust.Ladies and gentlemen it's saucy and sloppy and dammit she's got pizzazz.Coming soon to a gutter near you...
