Tarsh Jago
Cherub
Cherub is the debut solo stand-up show from Palawa comedian Tarsh Jago. Inspired by a tweet that read, “You don’t look Aboriginal, you look like the cherub from the Pears soap”, this hour blends razor-sharp comedy with heartfelt storytelling about race, queerness and identity. Tarsh takes audiences on a hilarious and confronting journey through the contradictions of being Blak and queer, with punchlines that sparkle and stories that linger. Bold, cheeky and deeply personal.
Suitable for audiences 15+
Language – occasional coarse language
Political, religious or racial themes
