Ida Hoe

Ida Hoe is a local treasure! Always spreading joy, laughter, and kindness. Her performances, as well as her hosting talents are always a joy to watch.

Where to start....
The pure about of love and positivity that Ida Hoe gives to not only her craft but her performers and to the venue is absolutely incredible. As an owner of Xanadu, it can be difficult working with some artists but Ida Hoe comes in clutch with a perfect spreadsheet of music and timetables along with what color lights they need which is beyond helpful when you have to DJ /AV the event. Ida also goes above and beyond by printing out flyers, getting sponsors, and making sure that the venue has everything they need before the event starts. Now as a performer herself, she is unique, bold, funny, and full of character. There is really no one else on earth quite like Ida, she will make everyone smile with her wit and humor. Recently we saw she did a reading at Lucy's Bookstore to read to children and during her performance at Xanadu she gave a quick speech about what that means to the community that if we fight fear with love and education and having children grow up seeing drag queens it helps build a positive future. Things like this, really bring in the love that Ida sets to create in her shows. We've seen her be part of shows and evolving to a point where she can host shows and even once she had to unexpectedly had to host a show when the producer got sick mid-show and no one noticed as she was able to come in clutch so fast to help out and make sure the show ran smoothly. Ida Hoe even hosts Drag Bingo which fills our entire venue out on a Sunday when we open which is absolutely crazy. Ida is making sure our venue succeeds and in return we are seeing her succeed on brining her character to life more and more!
We here at Xanadu can't recommend Ida Hoe enough. She is evolving so fast that we can't be any more proud of her. If there is a rainbow, Ida Hoe is on the other side and shining bright with love, she is our communities treasure and even more, she is our family!
