TransMasculine Cabaret, Starring Vulva Va-Voom

"TragiComic transgender-identifying true confessional" and "obscene, maniacal burlesque headliner" seem like incompatible elements...but this gritty song-and-dance nightclub comedian has combined stranger, stickier things onstage. Nine-time Fringe honoree Vulva Va-Voom asks of queer identity: "Who gets to define whether someone is a drag queen, king, or an in-between?" Hardships, meet hilarity.

 

vulva va-voom

is a legit musical theater triple threat gone bad. Very, very bad. They went from Tampa Bay's most respected professional theater companies to cutting-edge underground bar cabaret...but unfortunately outgrew those venues. With shows that are too edgy for upscale joints and too intellectual for dive bars, they now haunt the Fringe circuit. Honors include "The Social Good Award," 2 "Venue Choice," 3 "The Edge" Awards, a β€œBest of the Bay” Award, & 2 jury selections for curated Orlando Fringe festivals. Vulva's material is best summarized as "Carol Burnett violating Oscar Wilde with a rolled-up copy of 'The New Yorker.'"
