Poly Poptart, the Original Drag Intro Comedian is a queer, Jewish, drag queen Oakland comedienne. After completing a 10 day intensive Vipassana meditation retreat, Poly realized she had a talent for creating drag names and intros, and set off and achieved the feat of posting a drag name intro every day for 365 days. The 365 Days of Drag Names is recognized by performers around the world, and catapulted this young comedienne into stand up comedy. Beyond stand up Poly Poptart incorporates impressions, gymnastics, and fabulous costumes into an entertainment style you can't help but enjoy. Some of Poly's most significant achievements are:

• Headlined Oakland Comedy Fest 2019
• Headlined at the All Out Comedy Theater in Oakland
• Accepted to Mutiny Radio 2020 Comedy Festival in SF
• Completed a 365 Days of Drag Names project that attracted > 4,300 Instagram followers
• Co-Hosted show with Honey Mahogany of RuPaul's Drag Race
• Hosted Uncensored Pillow Talk - a Bay Area talk show (guests include Sister Roma & Peaches Christ)
• Founding Events Director of Impulse SF - a queer men's sexual health non-profit organization

She is very excited for the opportunity to use her skills to build community and build meaningful connections through performance and advocacy.
