Performance Success
Rusty Nutz, Drag King
When I started doing drag, I was coming from one of the roughest and toughest times of my young adult life - I was previously physically/emotionally/verbally abused by 2 lovers bck2bck & then sexually assaulted - Hate Crime some may say.....
Being on stage came naturally for me - being since I was a "bad kid" who was often found in their bedroom growing up b/c I was grounded frequently, I entertained for an audience that was made up, but I performed a lot in my bed room for this imaginary audience. Which, I believe is the reason I find being on stage so comfortable and natural. As anyone could imagine, this young child was starving for love and appreciation.
I am happy with my success and I am pushing my boundaries a little further this year by producing a few shows. I am grateful to be able to entertain, bring people together for a good time, provide a safe place to meet new people and raise $$ for the community. What also feels really good is being able to help other performers that are newer or new to our state by providing them a place to perform as well and mentorship.
I have been on so many show flyers, performed for large & small prides, performed in festivals, produced and worked with MLB and hopefully ABQ Isotopes & even NM United. I am grateful to be able to perform all over the USA for so many people. Its an honor and I am entirely grateful to have this safe and comfortable outlet of performance art. Challenging myself this year with burlesque aspect as well as putting myself out there at prides and festivals all over the USA.
I LOVE RUSTY NUTZ. KEEP GIVING BACK.
