Concealed with Art Simone
Join our favourite drag queen, Art Simone as she puts on her detective cap, to solve a riddle and extract a confession from each guest, having their secret life exposed.
You may recognise Art from her role as Kath Day-Knight, in the Kath and Kim Parody play, or being a diva on Ru Paul’s Drag Race Donwnunder, sashaying her way through Mardi Gras or maybe even have just seen her in her natural element in Geelong, but Art’s role as a private investigator, extracting a confessional, may be her most difficult role yet.
For lovers of true crime, she has had a sit down kiki with Narelle Fraser, who has uncovered some of the most horrific crimes in the country, and a lady whose life is like the real life NCIS and specialises in autopsy. She’s had a gossip with Collingwood Football player, Mason Cox, a real life ghostbuster who prefers to be called a paranormal investigator, a stunt double for Idris Elba, a BDSM leather master who brought the smut, Bill Edgar the coffin confessor, A former Disney princess who has spilt the tea on life as a princess on a Disney Cruise, a former circus performer, a medium psychic, a witch (and yes he does practice witchcraft), a person exposing the catfish of the world, the largest snoopy collector in Australia, a lipstick wearing corporate type, now involved in taxidermy, a professional exposing the best and worst of plastic surgery, a former escort with secrets to tell, she lays it all bare (no we’re not talking nudes, get your mind out of the gutter).
Who can forget Art Simone’s own sisterhood that have joined us, we unmasked (literally) one Art Simone’s closest judies, Etcetera Etcetera, and had the pleasure of being joined by Art’s own mother who is one fierce lady!
Join us to uncover the puzzle and reveal some of the most obscure hidden lives.
