Queen April

Standard burlesque acts are typically 5-7 minutes in length and require at least 10-15 minutes in between for costume changes. I also have specialty acts; fire, fetish, 6ft balloon. Most of my acts are comedic/tongue-in-cheek or slow and sexy and strictly for adults. However, I do have family-friendly-ish 6ft balloon acts.
Fire performances are limited to small torches, hoops, and fans. A second performer will be added when booking performance times longer than 30 minutes.
I am a fire eater, but I do not spit/blow fire balls.
Please note my fire safety person travels with me to all fire bookings.
Event hosting/emceeing - Usually bawdy and playful, lowbrow comedy. Expect a modern version of the classic Vaudeville show host. Please note I have a thick southern accent, of which I am incredibly proud.

Queen April is a full time entertainer and event producer who's been keeping it weird and naked all over the United States for over a decade. She specializes in off-beat neo-burlesque, vaudeville entertainment, and fire performance.

She is a regular performer at Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, NC, where she features with the DeVine Dungeon, and an actress and co-director with Down With Pants Thespian-Free Theatre.

Private dressing room space is required.
6ft balloon acts require a 12ft minimum ceiling height, a large, clean, and debris-free performance area, and a prop staging area large enough to prepare and inflate the balloon.
Fire acts require a clean, well-ventilated performance area that is sanctioned off from the audience. Outside is best, but please note we will not perform fire in windy conditions. Our fire safety person travels with us to all fire bookings.
