It all started with a musical. In May of 2016, A.J. Vaughan and Nicole Hays played opposite one another in a musical production of "Big Fish" in Tampa, Florida. Although they had never met before, the two quickly formed a close bond during rehearsals. What began as an onstage romance soon became a real-life relationship. 

A.J. and Nicole, both full-time professional performers, soon made plans to collaborate on the production of a brand new vaudeville variety show production. 

Thus their alter egos, Tank and Tilly, were born. Their first production, titled "Tank and Tilly's 'Clockwork Cabaret'" premieres on June 23rd in Tampa, FL.
