Grandmafun

Grandmafun is a classy lady from the islands with Bettie Page charms and Beyonce booty shaking moves that will make you swoon.

She brings wonderment and surprise with her mix of hip-hop and classic soul while looking like she stepped out of a Gauguin painting and straight in to a technicolor film. You’ll never look at your grandma the same way again…

She has been in the New York burlesque scene since 2008 and her humble beginnings started at Kitty Nights burlesque.

She can be seen all throughout NYC including the Slipper Room, Parkside Lounge, Coney Island, and R Bar just to name a few. She competed in Burlesque Hall of Fame in 2011 with the troupe Brown Girls Burlesque in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Since then has been trailblazing on her own up and down the east coast including New Jersey, Philadelphia, and D.C.

A former New Orleans resident, she is the producer and founder of Dreamland Burlesque! She is also one of the founding members of Two Island Girls and A Goth, a trio tour of sexy misfits from the Crescent City.

Her burlesque acts consist of social political commentary, satire of pop culture, and emotionally charged performance art whether it is in classic or neo-burlesque form.She is heavily influenced by 1960s girl groups, soul/funk, blues, brass bands, bossanova, reggae and hip-hop. Her style is often eclectic and never duplicated all the while charming the audiences with her wit, silliness, and sass.

In the last few years, especially with the pandemic, her focus has shifted towards more collective healing in her art specifically on her Filipino heritage. She was recently seen and featured in MAX for Take Out with Lisa Ling and AMC’s Anne Rice: Mayfair Witches.
