HELLO DIVAS!! ⭐️✨️❤️

I have graciously gained a TON of new followers in the past week, so I figured I'd make this introduction so you can get to know me a little better! 🥰

My name is Xaddy Addy, I am a Black transmasculine non-binary badass from Harlem, NY, and I use he/him/they/them pronouns at ALL times. I have been an effeminate drag king, draglesque cutie, and sideshow artist in NYC nightlife for the past 5 years. Coming from rock bottom as an anxiety and trauma riddled s*x worker to a full time performer has been one of my biggest challenges AND blessings in my adulthood thus far.

Known by many as The ILLegimate Xather of Brooklyn Nightlife, I have curated multiple community centered open stages in the last few years throughout Brooklyn. These open stages have blossomed the journeys of now hundreds of drag performers (and illegitimate children!) throughout the city, and I take great pride in seeing them all flourish. My current open stage that I co-host/produce is @superstaropenset - a weekly queer open set every Wednesday at @bar.jade.bk ⭐️

I am the co-founder and Sideshow Casanova of the 1st & only ALL BIPOC and ALL Trans Sideshow Drag show in the world- @blackcherrysideshow . The photos above is from our recent 2 year anniversary show, where for our show's closing number I got to become a human disco ball through the means of hooks IN my body! 🍒

You can also catch me every month as your favorite enby boy in the long standing, vinyl record playing burlesque troupe @lastchancedancers , a troupe I have been a part of for 3 years!🔥

My mission is simple: to live life all the way through, to be FABULOUS in RED, to expand people's mindsets when it comes to what a drag king or Black transmasculine person should be, and to inspire my queer NYC community to engage more positively and authentically with one another in the rising age of American facism. In nightlife, drag kings are meant to be in the background; to be infantalized, to be mistreated, and underpaid. In the last 5 years, I have defied the odds, committted myself to building a legacy beyond myself, and I hope to have you stay along to follow my journey!! ✨️💜

Before we go any further.. SuciaQT is for the QUEERS, no cis het males in the building!!!!
CARNIVAL!!!! Leave it to Black Cherry Side Show and SuciaQT to add a special twist to our pre Jourvet themed day party. We are mashing up Brooklyn Carnival vibes with ACTUAL side show performers. It’s a bold concept, and we likes!!!!
On the wheels of steel we got DJ Adapta with big toooons!
Black Cherry Sideshow is the only ALL Trans Circus Sideshow Troupe in existence. Historically, non white and trans faces have been mostly limited to exploitation and mockery, Black Cherry is here to change that!
Big big shout to @selena our first SuciaQUEER host!
So when we say we doing carnival and CARNIVAL, strap in, or up;) cop that ticket and see what it is!!!!!
Did we mention that we have @yu on fire play, and Brooklyn Lu on bodywork??!?!?!
