“You want the FUNK?! We got the FUNK!” -Rebecca Mm Davis

“Representation matters and this festival continues to raise the bar for visibility of BIPOC performers across the world.” So sayeth the press release for What the Funk?!, the PNW’s first entirely BIPOC burlesque extravaganza. Every year we’re treated to a celebration of funk, beauty, brains, brawn, and Black/Brown Joy with three nights of funky entertainment.
