This year, we are bringing back the iconic star herself, TS Madison, to host our night of laughter with Mx. Dahlia Belle, Quei Tann, and Sunkee Angel!
TS MADISON
TS Madison is a social media and reality TV star, known for hosting "The TS Madison Experience" and "Turnt Out with TS Madison." With millions of followers, she discusses pop culture, transgender equality, and fashion.
Madison is also a music artist, featured on Beyoncé's "Renaissance," and an author, producer, and motivational speaker. As a proud transgender woman, she advocates for LGBTQ communities, appearing in shows like "RuPaul's Drag Race Untucked," "Trans-Me," and "Zola," reshaping public perceptions. Her journey from Miami, Florida, to earning an honorary doctorate of philosophy in humanitarianism reflects her transformative influence on public perceptions of transgender and gender-nonconforming identities.
SUNKEE ANGEL
Sunkee Angel, grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, discovering her passion for singing early on. Despite facing ridicule, she pursued her dreams, adopting personas like "Digidoo" to fit societal norms. Eventually, she embraced her true identity, transitioning to Sunkee Angel. In 2014, Sunkee bravely came out as transgender and HIV positive, using her platform to combat stigma through music and advocacy. A trailblazer in the trans community, she aspires to be a respected recording artist, challenging societal expectations and promoting acceptance for all!
QUEI TANN
Quei is a pretty fearless multi-hyphenate. While she's known best for her recurring roles on DEAR WHITE PPL, AHS, HOW TO GET AWAY W MURDER, and her supporting role in Blumhouse's THEY/THEM, she's proving herself to be a gifted comedian. Despite being fairly new to the LA stand-up scene, she performs regularly and hosts an extremely popular weekly open mic. While filming her most recent guest starring role on EQUALIZER in NYC, she spent her time off-set doing stand-up gigs across the city.
MX. DAHLIA BELLE
Hilarious, ignant, and the best sort of mess, Portland-based comedian MX. DAHLIA BELLE has been compared to a Swiss Army knife - different tools to extract sharpness, softness, vulnerability, hope, and wicked wit. She's been declared one of "11 Trans Comedians... Funnier Than Dave Chappelle" by Out Magazine and the funniest of Willamette Week's Funniest Five. In addition to having written for Cosmopolitan Magazine, The Guardian, The Stranger, and Portland Mercury, she has been a repeat guest on NPR, CBC, XRAY FM, and Portland Radio Project (PRP). Live performances have included NW Black Comedy Festival, Upper Left Comedy Festival, Hannah Gadsby's "Gender Agenda" on Netflix, and an awkward conversation with John Waters and Piers Morgan.
