Drag & Burlesque Diaries
Drag and Burlesque Diaries pulls back the curtain on the incredible lives and raw experiences of marginalized performance artists. Host Flame Foxxe sits down with a variety of performers—including drag kings, queens, burlesque dancers, poets, singers, fire artists, acrobats, pole dancers and more—to explore important, self-selected topics like ballroom culture, selective activism, and navigating community etiquette. It's like a candid slumber party with your favorite queer artists! Join us for a unique blend of deep conversation, silly games, and intimate glimpses into their fabulous world, because this is the space where No Performer is Left Backstage.
