Yoohoo! As we head into a new year, never forget I am sexy, I am fun, and I am booking 2026 🔥

Especially looking to perform at nerdy conventions so keep ya boi in mind.
I bring tons of 18+ panel experience plus in-character panels, classic burlesque and cosplay burlesque.

Burlesque!! Drag!!! Comedy!! I am thrilled to perform in NYC, Philly, Boston and beyond. Masc, femme, and gloriously inhuman characters welcome, I will rise to the occasion. I’ve got over 100 acts ready to go, including anime, pop culture, and classic classic classic femme, plus celebrity impersonations including Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe.
I’m also very ready to slide back into emcee work. Over a decade of experience hosting, producing, performing, and emceeing sold-out events from dive bars to a packed 900-seat theater on Halloween night. You want it? I got it, baby. ✨

I had a truly amazing time at Miss Coney Island this weekend, but I would be remiss if I did not make a commentary on the fact that myself and my partner were the only people that I could see in the auditorium that wore a mask. I even decorated some 3M Aura masks just to make sure that we had that extra layer of protection wearing the highest quality mask I have access to, knowing we would be in tight quarters with most people unmasked. But I have to be honest I really strongly believe that nightlife audiences need to be masking. Especially my fellow nightlife performers. Covid is truly still here and On The Rise and especially as we move into the cooler seasons there are all kinds of respiratory illnesses and we are all reliant on our human physical bodies to perform. Covid is a mass disabling virus that has been proven over and over again to cause cascading issues and compound issues you may already have in addition to making you more susceptible to other illnesses. I truly and strongly encourage with love in my heart, each and every one of you to wear a mask at crowded indoor events of any kind. Not just for the immunocompromised like myself. If you do it for no one else do it for your own damn self. Like just be selfish do it for yourself because you only get one body and I am telling you that not only did I almost die in 2024, but it has taken me still through now to regain much of the strength that I had prior to getting covid. So anyway that's my little 1:00 a.m. rant. If anyone needs links to good masks I have plenty. There are many wonderful kn95 masks that come in a variety of designs. And if you want a higher level of protection I have had extreme success with the 3M Aura 💚💚💚💚💚 by @mxmacabre

And with that, my first season as a talker at Coney Island has somehow already come to a close, and I genuinely do not know how to put into words what an honor this has been. But we all know I cannot be accused of shutting up, so off I go.

This was the dream. *The* dream. To stand on that stage and bally for the sideshow, to holler myself hoarse about the incredible human beings waiting inside, to become even one tiny voice in the long, loud, strange history of Coney Island. There are things you want so badly for so long that actually getting them feels slightly unreal. Every time I opened my mouth and started the pitch, some part of me was still thinking: holy shit. I get to actually do this.

Sideshow has always belonged to the outlaws and outsiders. The "freaks," the queers, the people who were too loud, too strange, too much, too difficult to file neatly into the world somebody else built for us. There is something sacred to me about an art form that takes everything society tells you to hide and puts it beneath a spotlight instead.

And right now, when queer art and disabeled bodies are once again being treated as things that should be hidden, sanitized, legislated, or erased, places like Coney Island matter more than ever. We need our weird little bastions. We need to protect them, support them, show up for them.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with it this season. Thank you to every performer who let me sing their praises, every stranger on Surf Avenue who stopped to hear what all the racket was about, and every beautiful weirdo who walked through those doors.

And whatever the future holds, there is something I get to carry with me forever now: I am part of the story of Coney Island. However small my little footnote might be in that enormous, bizarre, historic book, it's there. I got to stand where generations of talkers stood before me and add my voice to the noise. Nobody can ever take that away from me.

Here’s to whatever strange adventures come next. taken in Coney Island USA by @mxmacabre
