About:
“I’m Kizha Carr, NYC’s Bearded Bitch. Originally from Oklahoma City, I moved to NY to be an actor in 2008. I’ve appeared in several TV and Broadway shows, including Orange Is the New Black, The Deuce, and The Book of Mormon respectively.I started drag on a whim 9 years ago and instantly fell in love with it! I’ve been obsessed with Storm from X-Men since I was a child. She’s, by far, my biggest and most obvious influence, but others include legendary queens such as Nina West, Asia O’Hara, Mariah Carey and Claire Huxtable.I’ve always thought that since drag gives us these amazing platforms on which to perform that we also have to use them to give back to, help, and lead our community. That’s why all of my time and attention, at the moment, are focused on Miss Industry 2018– a charity pageant I produce and host every year that benefits a local LGBTQ homeless youth shelter. It will be held at Industry Bar in NYC on April 15 at 7pm.”
