Tim McKew grew up in a working-class Irish / Italian Catholic family. In his mid-teens under the advice of the Catholic Church and psychiatric authorities, he was given shock treatment to rewire his gay brain. This experience set the path for Tim, who would become a queer cabaret anarchist and performance artist, shocking and delighting audiences from Melbourne and Sydney to London, Berlin and Shanghai.
