Coco The Time-Travelling Tart
History is about to get naughty!
London’s most scandalous socialite has arrived for her explosive Australian debut – a gloriously unhinged comedy tour through time.
Coco the Time-Travelling Tart invites you on a journey where the past misbehaves, the future looks fabulous and absolutely nothing is safe from her stiletto-clad chaos.
She’s part cultural connoisseur, part champagne enthusiast… and absolutely the wrong woman to trust with the timeline.
Along the way, Coco tackles life’s big questions:
How should a girl dress for battle?
Will the future finally get its act together?
And is Napoleon really worth the hype?
Expect scandalous encounters across the centuries, glamour in reckless abundance, and to learn absolutely nothing useful – while having the time of your life.
Smart, silly, seductive and joyfully unhinged, this show is perfect for culture vultures, comedy addicts, history nerds and anyone who enjoys watching a woman improvise her way out of disaster in heels.
Part stand-up, part storytelling, part fever dream, Coco serves an intoxicating blend of character comedy, cultural mischief and razor-sharp improv. Imagine if The Mighty Boosh, Dr Who, The Rest Is History and Absolutely Fabulous had an orgie.
Who is Coco?
With 30million+ video views and 180,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, she has become one of the UK’s most talked-about comedy characters. Her art and history tours – at iconic institutions including the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern and the National Gallery – sell out within hours. Audiences flock to her for her wit, warmth and outrageous storytelling.
Onstage, Coco blends irreverence with intelligence, mixing cheeky historical twists with a deeply modern comedic voice: late-night gossip with Cleopatra, drinking games with Charlemagne, existential crises with Hollywood icons. It’s ridiculous. It’s joyful. It’s occasionally educational by accident. Mostly, it’s mayhem.
Fresh from sold-out shows and a cult following across the world, Coco is finally bringing her chaos Down Under. And Melbourne – she’s ready for you.
Come help her make history misbehave.
