Extraordinary New York artist and the very elegant, Joan As Police Woman (real name Joan Wasser) returns to Melbourne for her intimate solo performance, as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.

You could hear a pin drop at the Melbourne Recital Centre (affectionately known as being inside the belly of the whale), as Joan lovingly poured through her back catalogue of music. As well as performing a Blur and Prince cover, on this sophisticated night of music.
