Panelists

J.A. Valentine is not only a cast member of The Legend of Georgia McBride, but has entertained at events of every description with immersive comic characters, trivia game shows and celebrity impersonations. For 15 years Valentine served as inventory manager of the American Conservatory Theatre’s costume department, where they designed many MFA productions. From emceeing SF Pride’s MainStage, ringmastering a circus, endorsing a chewing gum for Finnish television, tap dancing 9.6 miles through the streets of SF and into the Guinness Book of World Records, Valentine has done it all!

Tater Tatas/Tot is a co-producer for the drag troupe, Palace of Trash, which descended from San Francisco's famous 70s group, The Cockettes. She is also a proud member of the House of Ross, with a huge and talented drag family led by Polly Amber Ross. Tater's drag blends elements of clown, cartoons and melodrama to transcend lyrics and voice topical matters. Tater is also a trained clown, mime, improviser and stand-up comic. Find her on YouTube under "Potatoes Mashed Comedy."

Bazil B. Dazil is an invocation of divine masculinity and sacred sexuality. While his drag can be described as glamorous and spooky, he uses humor and play to help others access their own authentic expression. He is a professional immersive performer, published author, public speaker, and tarot reader. Bazil’s passions include storytelling of all kinds, regenerating forests, and right-sizing narratives around gender and sexuality.
