DRAG PERFORMER:  FRIEDA POUSSAY
"Frieda Poussáy – the rose that grew out of the Staten Island landfill, now the premiere stand-up comedy queen of the DMV. Beginning their drag career nearly 4-years ago, Frieda learned very quickly that…dancing is not really her strong suit. It wasn't before long that she realized her true home was on stage behind the mic. After a year of hitting up the NYC comedy clubs, Frieda made the journey down to Washington, D.C., where she's been spreading her comedy everywhere she goes. Since the move, Miss Poussáy has had the privilege of opening up for Real Housewives of New York's very own Sonja Morgan at the legendary D.C. Improv, and is a current finalist in the NYC Queer Comedy Festival for 2022. When she's not behind the mic, you can catch Frieda throughout the DMV turning looks and bringing laughter to everyone around her. As her saying goes 'everyone's life is sh*t, but if you can make a person laugh or smile, if only for a moment, you've made that person's life that much better!"
