Wild stories as Kalgoorlie-Boulder skimpy help propel Tiffy Texas’ comedy career

Wild stories collected from her time as a skimpy in Kalgoorlie-Boulder has helped propel Tiffy Texas’ comedy career to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The former stripper and slowly retiring skimpy has found herself quickly picking up extra comedy gigs since taking off at Perth and Adelaide Fringe.

With the majority of her content stemming from her work in the region, Tiffy is planning a special comedy show in Kalgoorlie-Boulder in July ahead of her London and Edinburgh trip in August.

“Most of my material is all the stories from on the job, just the craziest things I’ve been tipped for or made money doing,” she said.

“The thing about this job is that things can come across farfetched, but it’s actually 100 per cent accurate — especially out here in Kalgoorlie.

“That’s why I haven’t completely given it up yet, I’m still stretching out the retirement that little bit only because the material is just too golden.”

Tiffy started out as a stripper in Perth before becoming a manager and house mum at a strip club, which eventually led her to skimpy work with Gold Class Girls.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder quickly became one of her favourite places not only to work, but also to live.

And while she technically still lives in Adelaide, she spends more of her time here than anywhere else.

Pushing 40, Tiffy decided to slowly start stepping away from skimpying, and instead focused on skimpy DJ-ing — working once a month at the Exchange Hotel — event emceeing, and now comedy.

“I’m having such a great time just doing all different kinds of things,” she said.

“Sometimes I’ll get booked for all of it, I’ll emcee and do comedy and then skimpy DJ at the end.

“This is what I love about skimpying, it can open so many doors for you.

“A lot of people see it as a means to an end, but it can give you so many opportunities and for me it really pushed me into new areas which I really love.”

Tiffy’s comedy show will take place at the Grand Hotel on July 5 with Perth comedians Bruno Oliveira and Ian Burke.
