A multi-award winning queer performing artist who does a unique mix of burlesque, drag, fire, pole, and more, Warumono is gender fuckery at it's finest. How bad can he possibly be?
[he/him]
I have been on stage for 24 years now, and have won more than 60 awards for my work worldwide. I have produced shows with more than 1,500 people in the audience, created programming for some of the nations largest conventions, performed on reality television, and currently carry a world record! People say I am one of a kind, specializing in fun character acts, creating magnificent costumes. People of all sexual orientations have said they find me enthralling.

Warumono is such a fun, unique performer, and genuinely nice person to work with. He brought several different performances over the run of our event, and he captivated the audience each time. His act appeared to have universal appeal to the audience, as well, as they always stood transfixed when he was performing. Highly recommended!
I have hired Warumono a few times now, for events small and medium sized. He shows up early, is kind and professional in the green room, and is a dynamic and charismatic performer.
Warumono has some of the most creative acts I've ever seen - and I've hired MANY over the years. Costume and presentation is always on point but couple that with their charisma and stage presence and you have a first class act every time. If you're looking for something to wow your audience and get out of an entertainment rut, Warumono is guaranteed to deliver.
I've hired Waru for performances on multiple accounts. Every element of his work is always excellent: costuming is beautiful and creative, execution fun and exciting--the stage presence, character, and audience engagement absolutely phenomenal. Waru is also so easy to work with: an excellent communicator and always prepared. I love working with him and can't wait to do it again!
A joy to work with and truly talented! He not only worked the crowd well but also had a super impressive fire act that kept in theme with our show. On time and looking fine!
Warumono has been an incredible asset to every show we've ever booked with him for almost a decade. Talented, engaging and great fun to work with, he always bring an invaluable credibility to the table, from promotion to professionalism, that only comes from years of experience in industry. Other performers are excited to share a stage with him and know to bring their A-Game when they see he's on the bill. Waru is committed to all aspects of his craft and is the first to ensure that all I's are dotted and T's are crossed. Safety? Reading a room? Meticulously designed costuming? Provided confidently in every incredible performance.
I've booked Waru for multiple events, and every time he has put on an incredible performance. He has so many skills and is super versatile, and the costuming is always on point. Always easy to work with, communicates well, super responsive, and punctual. And he will blow your audience away with one of his many skills too. Highly recommended for any type of event!
I’ve booked Warumono multiple times in my shows over the years, and he’s always left audiences in awe! A great addition to your show or event. He’s also professional at the gig and in advance (communication/promotion).

Gender f*ckery at it's finest, and unapologetically queer. When I hit the stage, I'm going to bring you either alluring feminine expression, or tantalizing masculine energy. Sometimes both! I've been told I'm high energy, intense, and powerful in what I do. There is so much thought put into my numbers, from the costumes I create myself to the songs I remix, to the story I'm telling (in usually three to five minutes). There is always more and more to think about even when you've seen me multiple times, and I'm always changing it up! I have a knack for hitting you right in the nostalgia. A lot of my acts are based on and inspired by popular characters we grew up with - thus the 'villain'. Everyone knows the bad guys get the sexy edit, right? But I'm not limited to what is just my 'brand' - I also can do traditional, classic, neo, the list goes on. I've done cozy bars and high end clubs, big events like Prides, conventions with hundreds of thousands in attendance. And I'm professionally prompt - great communication - I always say more information is better than not enough! I am on time (read: early), show up ready to go, keep my things compact and organized, provide everything needed from me and then some, make sure everything is clean as I'm gone, and extremely easy to get along with. Always grateful and respectful every time I am given the opportunity to show my art to the world.
And you know, intersex drag kings who also dance burlesque and fire breathe for a living are kind of hard to come by. ;)
My name is Warumono (it means 'villain' or 'bad guy') and I have been on stage and creating art my entire life. I started out in pageants, credited in every art class imaginable, dabbled in theater and improv, moved to making costumes and competing, small acts, modeled for fashion shows, worked in Hair and Makeup, was in a couple bands, and used all of that to propel me into drag and eventually burlesque. Now I do a mixture of all of the above! I have won more than 60 awards in the 24 years I have been creating across the nation as well as one international. I am a current verified world record holder for Largest Online Burlesque Class. I have won titles in the queer community for my performances, and am an outspoken activist for including intersex people in our Alphabet Umbrella, making sure that Drag Kings and Things start getting the same recognition as Drag Queens, and educating on how to be more gender inclusive in Burlesque and other shows. I have put together and hosted many large events in my time!
I am originally from Denver, CO. and performed all over the state regularly as a solo artist as well as a part of multiple different troupes. While keeping busy in my hometown I also traveled to many states to perform for shows all across the USA. I have dreams of constantly biggering and bettering my talent, so in 2019 I finally moved to Los Angeles, CA. It had been a dream of mine for more than a decade at that point. Once here, I quickly went to work figuring out how to climb even higher and higher still, and learned how to play with, eat, and breathe fire. In fact, I was on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17 Finale! I'm also learning pole dancing and a bit of aerial hoop. Next on my list is angle grinding... I am a boy of many aspirations!
I am really loving my life here and would be honored to bring you my unique entertainment, charismatic personality, and punctual professionalism. How bad can I possibly be?
