Tim McKew is one of Australia’s cabaret legends, a gay cultural icon who has been bringing his performance work to audiences here and internationally for many years, most recently with his sell-out Noel Coward shows in New York.

Tim McKew is  internationally acclaimed and has been performing here in Australia and abroad for many years in cities including, Melbourne, Sydney, London, Berlin, Shanghai and more recently in sold-out shows with his Noël Coward production in New York.

He is now considered one of the world’s best interpreters of Noël Coward, and has been taken to the USA for various tours of his one-man show.
