Mx. Pucks A'Plenty is known as the "Michelle Obama of Burlesque '' and the "They Them Yas Queen of Burlesque ''! Black, Fat, Queer, Nonbinary, and Disabled Pucks is radical self love personified. They have performed in over 15 festivals including the Buxom Blaze Burlesque Festival, Savannah Burlesque Festival, FIERCE! Queer Performing Arts Festival, Edmonton International Burlesque Festival, They/Them Festival, Disabilitease Festival, Panama Burlesque Festival, as well as performed in The Body Political in San Francisco, as a featured guest performer with Bless Your Heart Burlesque in San Diego and Gritty City Sirens of Tacoma, and as an International Festival Headliner at the Inaugural Shade Burlesque Festival in 2025.

Recently featured in Revry TV's Submission Possible, Seattle Pride Magazine, South Seattle Emerald, KUOW, and Seattle Gay News Mx. Pucks is now Seattle Pride Magazine Fall Influencer, and a 2021 Grants for Artists’ Progress (GAP) Award Winner.

“It was one of the first times I really started opening up to the realization that I was non-binary.” Onstage, Pucks regards their performances as a gift to the audience. “One of the attitudes I carry on stage is not ‘thank you for coming,’ Its ‘you’re welcome.’ How often do you see a fat Black, queer, non-binary performer do something sexy on stage, and look good doing it? It doesn’t happen all the time,” they said. “What a gift to see someone literally living their best life in that moment and taking up space.”
