Abe Farrelly

Abe Farrelly is an actor, writer, and stand up comedian originally hailing from the south shore of Massachusetts. Known for his observational storytelling, from his distinct perspective as a Trans man, Abe is a unique voice in comedy. His ability to riff with the audience always makes him a crowd favorite, as he’s been making his way across the country headlining a variety of clubs and cruises. He’s also performed at legendary spots like The World Famous Comedy Store, the Improv, and the Laugh Factory. You can also catch Abe MC’ing all sorts of different events around Los Angeles from outdoor movie screenings to drag brunches in WeHo. He can also be seen in his recurring role on the NBC award-winning series, This Is Us, and his recurring guest star role in the latest season of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Tuesday Thomas

Known as the "Tik Tok Tranma," Tuesday Thomas uses her lengthy life as an out trans woman to help others. Suffering from severe anxiety and PTSD, her odd sense of humor is the only thing that saved her from extinction. Her mother calls her a "Freak Magnet" (and mom always knows best). A graduate of The Groundlings, IO, Second City, and UCB, Tuesday hosted and produced L.A.'s premier underground dark comedic variety show, Freak Show, for eight years. Her short film Catastrophe Anthem was the winner of Silk Road at Cannes, as well as an Official Selection at Slam Dance and LAIFF. Her comedy special, Tuesday’s Trash, is available on Amazon Prime and a documentary on her life, The Trash Goes Out on Tuesday will be out this fall. 

Queen Sheba.jpg

Queen Sheba

She is Queen Sheba... as in The Queen of Sheba; DTLA's Bearded Queen. Originally from South Florida, Sheba arrived in California with a history of opera and theater performances in her repertoire. The grit, grime, and sizzle of Los Angeles has made her what she is today: tough, musical, and observant. She is an actress, singer, Hostess, and performance artist who makes DTLA her main headquarters.

Charlie Galin

A creature of wild facial expressions and immersing his audience in his craft, Charles Galin King brings a weird, creepy, warmth to the stage. A shy, reserved, isolated child, movies and theatre brought him out of his shell. He honed his persona while acquiring an Associates Degree in Theater from The East Los Angeles Community College. Born and raised in East L.A., Charles is a proud Californian and loves strengthening their relationship with the queer community. Tlazocamati [muchas gracias]

Barbra, Please

Barbra, Please is a Central Californian native living and werking the streets of WeHo. “BARBRA, PLEASE!” is an iconic line from the film, Mommie Dearest, one of Barbra's favorite films, and chosen as her moniker because it harkens to a different time in pop culture and what you can expect from her performances: GLAMOUR and some old world drag.
