"You won't want to miss Queenie Bon Bon's show."
--Scarlet Alliance President, Elena Jeffries
DEEPLY LEISURED is a hybrid performance that spans the genres
of stand up comedy, performance, lecture, and consciousness-raising
story telling.
Queenie
Bon Bon presents narratives detailing her deep love for her
clients & coworkers, and the eternal joys and mysteries
of working with bodies. She also shares stories on coming out
as a sex worker to her mother, whorephobia and internet dating,
and covering up when you peed on the carpet at your workplace.
A tender and true look into her lived experience as a sex worker,
coworker solidarity, as well as social and political issues
surrounding sex work, DEEPLY LEISURED is full of intrigue and
inspiration.

“…hilarious diary-entry style recollections put
a comedic spin on even the smallest details…Queenie shed
light on the social and political issues faced by sex workers
in a comic manner that audiences could easily absorb."
-- Estelle Lucas
“ It was amazing to be in a room and feel so much support
and acceptance of my work…”-- Dita

DEEPLY
LEISURED: A Bridge to Understanding for Friends and Family
"Queenie's experiences were similar to my own. But I could never
say these things in the way she could to some of the people
who needed to hear it the most, the family members of sex workers,
especially my own family members. I attended the show with my
brother. He is aware of my work, but we don’t discuss
it in detail….Seeing him laugh and be entertained by the
sometimes trivial, sometimes complex problems sex workers face,
was a way of having him hear the things I couldn’t say
to him directly. And during Queenie’s fantastic performance,
I knew my brother understood my work and appreciated what I
did, and that meant the world to me." -- Estelle Lucas
