Kelindah has been performing as Drag Persona, Theydy Bedbug since 2016. They are the current reigning “Mx. Brooklyn 2019,” “the bug bite you beg for,” and the “dad joke of drag.”
In the past few years, they have presented work at The Signature Theatre, Lehman College, SVA, Barnard College, Triskelion Arts, Gibney Dance, The Knockdown Center, The Stone Church, The Kraine Theater, House of Yes, BAX, The Stonewall Inn, The Brick, The Flea, The Tank, Pioneer Works, Google NY, FIT, VICE Headquarters, UCB, BAM Fisher, The Hangar Theater, Chelsea Music Hall, National Sawdust, Coney Island Sideshows by the Seashore, JACK among countless other venues in New York and beyond.
Their performances combine campy lip sync, grotesque burlesque, satirical commentary, and theatrical storytelling to reclaim their body, queer the audience, and laugh at the absurdities of our world. They believe that create art that channels our authentic expression liberated from gender norms, we make space for more ways of being.
