'Mae West': The Comeback Tour

Before Britney. Before Madonna. Before Cher. There was Mae West.

History's FILTHIEST feminist icon.

★★★★★ "An Experience Unlike Any Other. Utterly Hysterical." –Broadway World

Meet Mae West: 134 and hotter than ever — think Julia Louis-Dreyfus meets Grey Gardens. It's opening night of the Comeback Tour, 2026. Gay icon, O.G. Prophet of Camp, and self-made legend is BACK (1980 death rumors are LIES — but inflation? VERY real). Is the tour a money grab? Who's to say...

In a time where people's rights are moving backwards, this show celebrates the original queen of the comeback — who, despite censorship (Hollywood's Hays Code was invented for her), blacklists and ageism, championed visibility for women, gay men, and most of all, herself. Expect all the hits, bio-queen realness and glorious UNHINGED comedic chaos.

"Too much of a good thing can be wonderful." — Mae West

★★★★ "Brilliant Sexual Tension." –Edmonton Journal (for "Uncouth")
★★★★★ "Funniest Performer I've Seen in a Long Time." –SF Arts Monthly

Strap in — let's ride.

Created in collaboration with Deanna Fleysher, star of TV's "KING OF DRAG" & "Butt Kapinski" fame.

Wendi Wynazz ("Legend of Her Own Mind") is an award-winning physical theatre artist, comedienne and chaos merchant. Seen on America's Got Talent, the stages of SF Sketchfest & Cirque Du Soleil's parking lot.

Plain Language Description

Mae West, a famous movie star from the 1930's, comes back from the dead for her Comeback Tour. She needs money. She performs her biggest hits. She sings, she dances (not very well if we are being honest), and generally seduces everyone. Things will get wild, crazy and fun.
