KiKi Maroon's video: Showgirl Roadgirl Podcast Episode 10- Bebe Bardot

NOTE: This was recorded on May 11th, 2020. While Bebe and I do talk about race/burlesque as POC performers, we do not discuss the protest because they hadn't taken place yet. I just wanted to be make this note so that our conversation does not appear tone deaf to the current reality. ------------- I love catching up with my burlesque, circus, and comedy friends on The Showgirl Roadgirl Podcast! I love Bebe! She makes me laugh SO much. FYI- This episode is very industry. I don't even end up asking her any of my silly go-to questions because we can just talk about burlesque all day. Bebe used to be a beauty pageant queen so we talk about the similarities (and differences) in burlesque competitions, the difficulty of producing shows, and the differences between the D.C scene and the Houston scene. - The Showgirl Roadgirl Podcast started as a Patreon Exclusive show, but we had so much fun, we wanted to share!

I love hearing from ya'll! - KiKi Maroon is a stand-up comic, podcaster, and international award-winning burlesque clown. 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, and Asia; winning her the titles of 2013 Burlesque Comedy Queen, 2015 People’s Choice at The International Queen Burlesque Festival (Milan, Italy), and an invitation to be a judge at the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame (Las Vegas). She is currently based in Texas, where she was named one of Houston’s “Most Colorful Celebrities” by The Houston Chronicle and included in “The 100 Most Creative People” by The Houston Press. In 2019, she began her residency at The House of Blues Houston and The House of Blues Dallas as the host and star of KiKi Maroon’s Burly Q Lounge, a Vegas style cabaret comedy show. After being a cast member on several radio shows and podcasts, KiKi launched her first solo podcast, Clown, Interrupted. An interview style show, the podcast focuses on artists in recovery and the life choices that led them to sobriety. The show received rave reviews and led to her TEDx talk, “The Beauty of Rock Bottom”, which chronicled her journey from alcoholic stripping clown to bump n’ grind burlesque super star. - Subscribe to my Patreon to be the first to know about upcoming shows and projects: https://www.patreon.com/kikimaroon Join my mailing list to be the second to know 😜: https://bit.ly/3baQl2n - KiKi Maroon's website: http://www.KiKimaroon.com/ Burly Q Lounge website: http://www.burlyqlounge.com/ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kikimaroon Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kikimaroon Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thekikimaroon Clown, Interrupted Podcast: http://www.clowninterrupted.com/ Youtube Channels: https://www.youtube.com/user/xoxoKiKiMaroon/featured
