Sexy and sweet Chestnut Belafonte is delighting audiences in New York City, having gone from cheering with them to scintillating in front of them. Find out why he calls himself "the Prince of Nepotism," what he's learned from colleagues and his showgirl lover to be a performance artist in his own right; plus how he has met his namesake's family, navigating artistry from the Metropolitan Opera to gin joints whilst charmingly dropping names of some of the very best to do in the tristate area.

Give love to the folks…

Hilarious and glamorous, goofy and gorgeous, we have Catty Wompass on the line! She and Viktor delve into the sophisticated ridiculousness that we love about burlesque, intellectual bimbo-acity of the showgirl, and radical acceptance of kismet. From climbing trees in muddy endurance to entitlement in the emails, Missipissippi to Iowa to Illinois, English major turned funny lady in a g-string, Catty Wompass is a delight.
