Main Stage Performers

Christine O’Leary

MC Comedienne Christine O’Leary

Pronounced ‘Christine-OH-Leary’

Nominated one of the Funniest Lesbians In America

Her family would tell you that Christine O'Leary has been performing her one-woman show her whole life. From social worker for homeless kids to an award-winning comedienne, Christine wrote, directed and stars in her own one-woman show called "The christineoleary.com Show". Social work and comedy (same thing) makes Christine a gifted listener and performer.  She is seasoned writer, enlightened public speaker, and consultant for a variety of organizations; most of all people say she is funny, funny, funny.  It’s no surprise that she was the winner of Portland’s Funniest Professional and crowned Entertainer of the Year by the gay community of Maine.  Her highest distinctions are recently being nominated as one of the 50 Funniest Lesbians in America by CURVEMAG.com and gracing of cover of Watermark Magazine.  Think Bette Midler in the bathhouses with the gay boys meets Robin Williams plus lipstick and a lifelong, lesbian member card.

Her contagious, endearing interaction with audiences, make people immediately trust her.  Christine is an intuitive expert when it comes to getting intimate with her audience, digging deep to get the laughs, a true professional at her craft.   There is no audience beyond her penetration (that’s hot!).  You will be ready to sign on, buckle down and unconditionally follow her all the way to funny!

Nancy Rancourt - nann

Nancy Rancourt

Canadian Lesbian Dance Music Diva ‘NANN’

Rancourt was featured in CURVE MAGAZINE as one of ‘HOLLYWOOD’S TOP 13 MUST SEE PERFORMERS’.

She has shared the stage and spotlight with some very fine artists, JOAN JETT, JEFF HEALEY, DEBBY HOLIDAY, CAROLE POPE, ASHLEY MACISSAC, and more.

Publicly ‘OUT’ Lesbian, Nann, is a FIRECRACKER PERFORMER exuding high energy & emotive intensity, surprising you with the big voice coming from her pint-sized Barbie Doll figure. You just don’t expect it, and then WHAM!

Nann’s 2008 CD ‘READY OR NOT’ shares even more of Dance Glam Nann, with Superhero Empowerment, and Emotional Reveal.

A LESBIAN MADONNA with POWER PIPES just may be the best way to describe Nann. And all through the darkest hour, a stranger comes with SUPER POWERS!
