Poly Poptart Absolutely Defied Gravity

An excellent zoom show for a friends birthday! When the birthday girl ended up being late because she needed Taco Bell FIVE minutes before the zoom Poly kept the fun going until she arrived. Lots of fun comedy, games, impressions and a quality lip sync.

An hour of entertainment

Poly delivered exactly what I expected. We talked beforehand to plan the virtual party. She warmed up the guests, played games, lip synced, and did impersonations. I loved that she asked the guests their favorite dance songs and played them during the costume change. Zoom can be awkward for a party, but everyone had fun thanks to Poly!

THE MOST FUN YOU'LL HAVE ALL QUARANTINE

I hired the fabulous and hilarious Poly Poptart to host a virtual BINGO night for my 72-year old mother. There were at least a dozen family members joining in via Zoom from all different walks of life (and political beliefs!!) and I can say with confidence it was the most fun ALL OF US HAD ALL QUARANTINE -- Poly kept us engaged, entertained, and laughing so hard we all had tears of joy running down our cheeks. And after being socially isolated for almost a year with just my dad, the experience made my mom feel so loved and adored -- plus she had just the absolute best time. I can't recommend working with Poly enough. Seriously the best idea for any kind of virtual celebration!!!

In the planning process, Poly was highly response, extremely thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Our virtual event was so needed during this time and Poly was fantastic. We all had so much fun laughing, dancing, and spending time together and Poly led us through flawlessly! Couldn’t more highly recommend and hope others are able to work with Poly!!!

Hostess with the Mostess

I asked Poly to host a virtual baby shower for a friend. Making an in-person baby shower fun is a challenge, and doing it virtually is almost impossible, but Poly was up to the challenge and exceeded our expectations. She came prepared with a variety of interactive, non-traditional games for us to play -- exactly what I asked for -- and injected humor and spirit into the event.

During our planning call, Poly came prepared with a variety of suggested activities, she was responsive to my emails leading up to the event, and showed up right on time to make her "entrance" onto our Zoom call. She even stayed on longer than planned so we could finish the games we had planned. She went above and beyond, and I'd definitely recommend Poly for your next event!

Absolute perfection!

We hired Poly to emcee an online birthday drag bingo event and she was perfection! She helped think through the event, plan it, and provided an itinerary that made the entire event pop. We all had so much fun and I would definitely book Poly again for any in-person or online event!

A Queen with it all: organized and incredibly talented

Poly Poptart sets a high bar for what it means to be a queen. She was incredibly responsive and helpful in making our Valentine's Day fundraiser for homeless services an absolute success. We would definitely work with her again!

Hilarious, professional, completely surpassed expectations

I am *so thrilled* that I got the tip to hire Poly for my event. I was searching for someone rather last minute for New Year's Eve, to play a greeter role to create an immersive theatre experience for guests as they arrived. I didn't have a lot of direction to give, as I'm not a professional theatre person or that familiar with directing, but Poly was able to take my ill-formed ideas and run with them, run ideas past me, and came up with a character and narrative that was perfect for setting the scene at the event. Specifically, we were having a New York themed party and needed an over-the-top New Yorker welcoming guests at the door, explaining the rules, and helping them dive head first into the NYC experience. Poly personally greeted over 250 people in the course of the 3 hours we had the doors open, giving them each personal attention and creating a memorable experience. I had guests coming up to me all night saying how much they loved the treatment they got upon arrival to the party, and I'm still hearing from guests how special Poly made their night. I hadn't worked with Poly before and didn't know what to expect. Poly showed up on time, in full costume, ready to start, asked all the questions they needed, and got all the details right away without taking up unnecessary time during out setup, and then quickly got to work making the event a success. I am so lucky that we found each other, as I could not have done this without Poly. Thank you so much again for making this night so magical for so many people!! Fantastic accent, fantastic character development and execution, fantastic outfit, and a pleasure to work with. <3

she's a comedy queen!

I've had the pleasure of working with Poly Poptart at both a wedding and a Amazon corporate event. Each time Poly was professional, prompt, and hilarious. Beyond her hilarious performances, she was super friendly to event attendees and other vendors. Overall, a very talented performer and a fun person to be around.

Set List

Beyond stand up comedy, I also can do campy or glamorous lip sync numbers - all drag queens have this old faithful in their repertoire. What sets my lip syncs apart from others is that my mixes are one of a kind, blending humor and glamour, and I perform gymnastics - front/back handsprings, side aerials, cartwheels, pirouettes, Wolf turns, and L turns.
