LINE UP

comics/advocates

More to come, subject to change.

 

Stacy Cay 

A trans comic from the south who doesn’t like Republicans.

Stacy Cay is a triple threat – advocate, model, and comedian

Tucker Carlson calls her “satanic”. Audiences describe her as hilarious. 

Stacy has appeared in the New York Comedy Festival, opened for Jiaoying Summers and Niles Abston, and is the creator/producer of Spend the Night‘ – a touring femme friendly, pajama party-themed comedy show that reviewer Susanna Lee called “power cute”.

As a model, Stacy has been called “so pretty it’s not fair”. She frequents the runway at Kansas City Fashion Week and has served as a brand ambassador for Jeanne Nuage, Marianna Harutanian, and Lloyd-Samuel.

She is a powerful voice and advocate for the trans community. She has given testimony in state houses and lobbied state lawmakers in an effort to protect the rights of trans people and humanize the community.

Stacy can be found at stacycay.com

 

Megan Graves

As a young, hypersexual bisexual trying to find her voice in the world and on the internet, Megan’s comedy has been described as “a little gross, but very endearing”. She hopes that through outwardly processing and blatantly over sharing her own journey, her audiences will join her in celebrating all of the weird, painful, and empowering steps it takes to become a Bad Bitch

Beyond their role as executive director, advocate and co-creator, Dr. jae also consults with a wide range of nonprofits and organizations on the work on acknowledging, deconstructing and rebuilding systems from an equitable perspective. To add to the list of all the creative activities, Dr. jae also serves as an executive coach, curator, IDEA curriculum developer and as a consultant for public media to provide accurate representation and perspective of our BIPoC + LGBTQIA community in storytelling and media.
