Bobbie Apples
After seeing their first burlesque show in 2015 Bobbie Apples was intrigued by the notion of women being both funny and sexy all at once. It was another year before they took their routines from their bedroom and onto the stage with the help of Tiffy Longstockings and Sugarblue Burlesque.
With a background in dance starting from age 5 (and the classic amount of dance trauma to go along with it) these classes quickly resulted in titles. With our guest winning Miss Congeniality at Sugarblue in 2018. Apprentease Winner 2019
And Burlesque Idol Adelaide Runner Up 2020.

Nat Oakes
Self proclaimed "jack of all trades, and master of none", but making that work in the best way possible, is WA born and raised Nat Oakes, known in Aus for her work as a producer, production manager, dancer, choreographer, fire performer and aerialist. Graduating from 2018 from WAAPA with a BA in Arts Management and an Adv Dip in Performing Arts from PAD, Oakes found her place in the entertainment world by trying absolutely everything, finding equal comfort in a pair of steel caps boots as a set of rhinestone pasties.
In the years after graduating she moved to NYC to work on the Production and Development teams at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, to London to work as a Production Manager for The Fair, the leading independent music festival producer in the UK, and as a production coordinator for Boiler Room UK.
Returning to Australia, Oakes found her home in the Fringe community, working FOH, production site and hub producer roles for FRINGE WORLD over the span of 5 years. Her work in Australia also includes senior roles with RAC Arena, Adelaide Festival, Factory Summer, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Post covid, Nat founded entertainment agency 'Lyons Production’, which has since become a leading figure in Perth, providing year-round entertainment for top venues, festivals, and events. Working with major clients such as Bar Pop, Night Owl, Phenomenon Events, Untitled Group and Lavish Habits, Lyons aims to elevate the industry standards, curate unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impact, and provide fair paid year round work for WA artists.
Soon after, Nat joined forces with FRINGE WORLD colleagues Liam Guiney and Dan Bruce, to create Tone & Cheek Productions, the company responsible for touring circus cabaret shows 'Club D'Amour' and 'Happy Endings', which (boasting entirely WA casts) have seen major success across Australia and will be touring internationally in 2024.
Through all of this, performing has remained Nat's number one passion. Her stage credits include The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Latin dance show The Underground, The Hyundai A-League, The Showhouse, Universal Music projects, and Grease Live. Oakes has truly found her home in recent years in touring cabaret circus productions such as Fringe Freak Out, Club D'Amour and Happy Endings, describing her cabaret persona as the 'Fire Breathing Ballerina; Perth's stage presence powerhouse. Crazy Horse meets the Red Light District in a fusion of Dance, Burlesque, Fire and Aerial Skills.’

Jamie Mykaela
In the eyes of South West England, Jamie Mykaela is a big old tart, a floozy. A charlatan chanteuse with a taste for whiskey and getting down more often than a blow-up doll.
In Australia? She’s a prude. She’s uptight. She just doesn’t know how to have fun.
Where’s the middle ground? Where’s the balance? Where is there a decent dive bar in Oxford?
The past year has been turbulent for ex-Perth comedy-cabaret icon Jamie Mykaela. Taking her punk sensibilities to the other side of the world has taken a lot of adjusting. Who knew a university town with such a rich (very white) history would be so sexless.
This is a story on how one woman with no mojo left home and made a whole city flustered without even trying.

Season One Trailer
Hello internet! My name is Aria Scarlett. My pronouns are She & Her and I am so thrilled to be announcing WA Exposé, a podcast about local arts by local artists.
Each week I sit down with an artist imbedded in their local scene and ask one question. Why did they choose their discipline?
WA Exposé drops on March 30th and our first season will air weekly after that. You can find us through your favourite podcasting app or via our website.
