After a decade in the mistress of ceremonies biz, Odessa Lil wanted to EXPOSE the amazing burlesque performers she encountered to the world and give them a chance to talk about their art, creative process, pubic hair Throughout the 18 episodes of Season 1, Odessa Lil saw the benefits of expanding the format to include all kinds of performers making up the neo-vaudeville scene and to incorporate outside video projects into the act.
Unfortunately, Babs and Shecky can never appear on the same episode at the same time due to their overly complicated and dramatic divorce proceedings and resultant restraining orders. However, they seem to be handling their part-time co-host duties maturely by alternating shows.
They have shared custody over Odessa Lil, the show, and Makko a living toilet paper cozy. Speakeasily is taped live, streaming to the internet, and is available forever after Because it's taped live, you never know what's going to happen on the show! Request an appearance! More in-depth bios below Host, producer, and creator of Speakeasily, Odessa Lil's razor sharp wit has earned her the designation of "stand-up dominatrix," which we can only assume means that she's punishingly funny.
One of the few female MCs in a scene dominated by men, Odessa Lil spelunks fresh comic territory with an olde-timey flair. Did we just say spelunks? Odessa Lil is available to those hiring for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals, divorce proceedings, difficult labors, home foreclosures, and seances. As a child she felt she never belonged in a world surrounded by drab, utilitarian colors. Her love of bling, luxury, and product presentation made her Klingon family disown her.
Heartbroken she came to Earth to find her new family. She was adopted by the Bernsteinowitz family in Queens and occasionally slips into the colloquial accent of her chosen people. Klingon Vanna White has an ill fated decades long marriage and performing career with her future ex husband, Shecky Davis Jr. They are currently sorting out the details of their dissolution and totally wish each other the best for fuck's sake.
