NORTH BAY— An Indigenous clown drag show is coming soon to your screens on January 26 at 6:30pm EST. Zikwaadan // Spit on it! livestreams on YouTube.
“Showcasing Indigenous clown drag performers to a broader audience that appreciates the weird, is super cool. A niche crowd will be into this and I want the little goblin freaks to log in!!! And I want to show that it’s cool to be cringe!” That from Assistant Coordinator Tejhler LB in a previous media release, adding that they are “Super stoked to be part of something so new and unique.”
The event is hosted by the Northern Indigenous Artist Alliance (NIAA). NIAA ‘s co-founder Rihkee Strapp is Red River Métis, shares insight into the performers featured in the show.
“Clair Voyant is their drag persona and Tejhler LB is their artist name. Tejhler is the administrative assistant. This project is their dream child and they’ve taken the lead on artistic direction. They will also be performing as Clair Voyant,” Strapp details. “The other Indigenous performers are Olive Boogits from Thunder Bay. Their real name is Belmor Belmore, which is a great name. Boogits is Anishinaabemowin for ‘fart!’ So, I love that one. They have a really classic vaudeville style that’s really unique and really exciting…And then there is Jet E Psychedelia, who is an actor named Jordan Fiddler who is based in Sandy Lake First Nation…And then we have one performer from down south named Mx. Honey-Jack and their real name is Frankie Hernandez. Our one person from the south. It’s kinda nice to have all these performers from Northern Ontario be able to kinda network with someone who performs at the Lookout a lot. It’s like the drag venue in Ottawa. I hope that if people get along, they will put on more shows. It’s a really exciting group of clowns from like all over the place. As well as myself. I go by the name Miskwa the Mad Clown. I’ll be hosting the evening.”
