What The Funk!
Sierra White has been selected to be a featured performer on night 2 of Seattle’s legendary What The Funk Fest at The Triple Door Theater, August 20th-22nd!
What the Funk?! is a POC Burlesque Tribute to Funk Music that was conceived as a show idea in early 2018 after our founder. Mx. Pucks A’Plenty, thought about doing a classic burlesque number to a Stevie Wonder song but realized it wouldn't count as a classic era song choice. This got their wheels turning, and What the Funk?! was born. On August 24, 2018, we kicked off two nights of two all-POC casts at the historic Jewelbox Theatre in The Rendezvous in Seattle, Washington.
As we wrapped on night two, Pucks decided to bring What the Funk?! back in 2019, but as a festival. The joy experienced backstage and on stage was just too magical not to do so. Wheels were set in motion immediately, and a larger venue was booked.
The first inaugural What the Funk?! An All POC Burlesque Festival took place in the Emerald City, Seattle, Washington, on August 22-24, 2019. What the Funk?! is produced by Puckduction in association with The Stay Up Late Show and Powered by Shunpike. Featuring over 40+ performers over the weekend, What the Funk?! hosted three shows and two days of classes.
