ABOUT KIKI MAROON
KiKi Maroon is a stand-up comic, Twitch streamer, Playboy Centerfold, and international award-winning burlesque performer. Known as “The Standup Who Strips Down”, her life on the road as a showgirl has given her a unique voice on stage. Combining stand-up comedy, storytelling, and cabaret, she has been called “a modern day Lucille Ball” (though Lucille never pulled a clown nose out of her panties).
KiKi has charmed audiences across the U.S, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia; winning her the titles of 2013 Burlesque Comedy Queen, 2015 People’s Choice at The International Queen Burlesque Festival (Milan, Italy), and the honor of being a judge at the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame (Las Vegas).

ABOUT JACK DAWKINS
Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far. His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use. Most importantly, he loves you.
