Miss Emcee, if you’re nasty

A magical thing happened years ago. Friend opens bar. Friend wants live music. Separate friend suggests a piano cabaret night with yours truly in the mix. It was that fast that I became an Emcee. I hadn’t any idea that I would love it to the core, but I guess after seven years of sketch comedy, it makes perfect sense. Almost seven years ago and a couple of whiskey’s later, Starr Bar’s Major/Minor Piano Variety Cabaret was born. Each show is unique and special, with performers of all kinds: singers, comedians, instrumentalists, dancers and more. The ridiculously talented piano man, Mitch Marcus, backs us all up.  Since then, I’ve expanded the cabaret to bringing the variety model to festivals, for a more improved lineup with festival-goers. You never know what your going to get, and it’s magic. My absolute joy is bringing people together to create a space for them to share their gifts. Look for the next show in the “Upcoming Shows” section.

Looking to spice up your event? Bring a variety cabaret to your festival or party that is an open mic for your guests! I create a safe space for people to come up and share anything- a poem, a song, a dance, comedy one-liners, etc. Anything can happen, and it is guarenteed to warm everyones heart involved. It’s a blast, deepens community and is a perfect surpise for your guests.

Beyond the cabaret, I’m your go-to host for any event. Contact me for bookings for your wedding, corporate event, variety show, festivals and more. Play on.
