Does it feel weird that they feel the need to keep repeating the fact that they will not bring snakes into the theater? Do not be alarmed. There will be no snakes.

An afternoon of laughter and unexpected comedy as the Mettlesome TourCo brings their unique brand of improv comedy to Yonder in Hillsborough, NC.

The next iteration of Vivica C. Coxx is rooted in her passions and success focusing on what brings her and her audience mutual joy–Vivica C. Coxx is ready to play! Presenting: Queenery, a crowd-work and drag extravaganza set theater style for a more intimate and connected experience. Queenery is a 1.5 hour unscripted romp through comedy–it is part crowd work special, podcast, and drag show. This one woman show moves effortlessly from a cold open, welcome, and mood-setter–this is where Vivica’s personality shines. Vivica will then perform a number of playful songs with interludes of crowd interaction and comedy–crowd work is Vivica’s specialty.

Attendees of the event will leave feeling uplifted, energetic, and a slight sense of healing. Vivica will close each of the events with a moving or strangely comedic performance as is her style.
