Nebula Omega
Nebula Omega, the interstellar beauty from New Orleans, serves up cosmic glamour with a y2k twist. This celestial queen is known for her aught-standing comedic lip syncs that'll have you orbiting in laughter. As half of the dynamic Drag Duo 'eNVy,' she's also the mastermind behind "That's Aught," the Y2K Drag revue that's taking us all back to the millennium in style. Get ready for a blast from the past with a touch of stardust, because Nebula Omega is truly out of this world!
Virginia SlimJim
Virginia SlimJim is America’s Favorite Truck Stop Snack. You can find her on the Haus of Cards family tree and in the Chokehole wrestling ring. Catch her show, That’s Aught: a 2000’s revue, at the Allways Lounge on June 8th with her co producer Nebula Omega.
Burlesque Performers
Carlotta Coquette (pronounced CAR-LOT-UH KO-KETT)
Born and raised in New Orleans, Carlotta Coquette is a proud graduate of the Nola school of Burlesque. She likes to challenge what people expect to see on a Burlesque stage, by tapping into either humor or even sadness and grief in her performances. She's the sweetest, and yet, she'll make you wet, Carlotta Coquette!
Camille
Camille is a sometimes burlesque performer, occasional comic, and full-time attention seeker. She started performing comedy in 2016 and went on to co-found No Lye Comedy, a collective of all Black, all femme, and all funny comics. Somewhere in the mix she decided to lean in, disappoint her mother even more, and take her clothes off on stage. By day, she’s the woman begging you to pay attention to the state legislature and by night she’s a sober woman in her mid-30s, in bed with her library haul, wondering how she’ll get the attention she desperately craves. Her ultimate dream is to become a Spice Girl.
Audrey Vin Rouge
Audrey Vin Rouge is a bayou beauty born and raised in the heart of Acadiana. She got her start in burlesque in 2019 after graduating from Bella Blue’s Like A Virgin workshop. You can catch her on stage with various local productions such as Bayou Blues, Tangerine Dreams, Sundown Striptease, and the Society of Sin.
Comedian
Amanda G
Amanda G. is a stand up comedian based in New Orleans. She has opened for Michael Che, River Butcher, Emma Willman, and Chris Fairbanks. She hosts Comedy Beast, a weekly stand-up comedy show, as well as the Bear with Me Open Mic. She hosts and produces the Near and Queer to My Heart podcast. You might recognize her as a regular host of New Orleans' Greetings, from Queer Mountain, or on those rare nights that she isn't on some stage making audiences laugh...as that girl at the end of the bar.
