What The Funk?! – Washington
What The Funk?! – WashingtonBiographical Info
What the Funk?! is a POC Burlesque Tribute to Funk Music that was conceived as a show idea in early 2018 after our founder. Mx. Pucks A’Plenty, thought about doing a classic burlesque number to a Stevie Wonder song but realized it wouldn’t count as a classic era song choice. This got their wheels turning, and What the Funk?! was born. On August 24, 2018, we kicked off two nights of two all-POC casts at the historic Jewelbox Theatre in The Rendezvous in Seattle, Washington.
