Extended Bio:
Lt. Moxie Magnus, drag queen extraordinaire, travels through time and space to deliver her own brand of sci-fi comedy stand-up along with cosmic ukulele tunes! She's proof that your physics professor was wrong; there IS drag in the void of space!
LT. Moxie Anne Magnus, entertainer extraordinaire, mediocre comic and even mediocre-er ukulelist, sling-shots back in time to join you for your entertainment pleasure! But who is Moxie Anne Magnus? She is indeed a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, laced up in a girdle, topped with two feet of hair and set on a pedestal of size 12, Starfleet-regulation, black, chunky-heel, platform boots! As the Chief Cosmetologist on the USS Enterprise of the twenty-third century, She keeps the crew's dos in tip-top shape. But what more do we know about this magnificent creature who has often been called "the petite bird of the galaxy"?
We know little of Moxie’s childhood. Historically, the Magnus family were unusual among Scottish highland families as their tartan was not traditionally wool, but sequined chiffon and they eschewed the kilt in favor of the tutu. In addition, the family crest contains the motto "Girl, That ain’t enough glitter!”
Here in the 21st century, Moxie travels throughout the US performing as the Queen of Outer Space. She’s performed at many cons including Outlantacon, Timegate, and Timelordfest. She’s acted as Con emcee at Indianapolis’s Starbase Indy and InConJunction, and at Cleveland’s Concoction, and even manned the “Bridge Float” in Iowa’s famous Trekfest parade. She’s played in clubs and theaters up and down the east coast including a run of Time-square cabaret shows coinciding with New York’s Comic Con. When she’s not performing she is working on her weekly web comic Tales From Salonbay.
In recent years she has perfected the art and science of sling-shotting around the sun to arrive with a precision greater than renegade Timelords, Terminators, or even mad scientists with tricked out DeLoreans. As the self-proclaimed queen of outer space she comes in peace! Her jokes will make make you groan, her ukulele playing will make you moan, but her glamour will make you forget your pain!

Panel/Show Descriptions
In addition to traditional drag--lip syncing, stompin' a runway, serving outer-space realness--Lt. Magnus has a lot of other tricks up her sleeve. Do you want her at your con, event, or bar mitzvah? Well sugar, here are some of the things this queen can do for you!
MC Extraordinaire
One Woman Show
Lt. Magnus has tons of MC experience. Whether it's the intimate cozy rec room 4 on the Enterprise or a gigantic three-ring circus tent, Moxie can rouse a crowd. She can run an evening of karaoke. She brings life to costume and masquerade contests. She can moderate a con panel like nobody else. She can manage a comedy evening with pizzazz and flare! You get the picture (and it's a glamour glossy!) She has been the show host for a number of sci-fi cons, comedy evenings, burlesque shows, and more!
The end of the world as we know it is near! Only Lt. Moxie Anne Magnus, the Chief Cosmetologist of the USS Enterprise can save us all! The evil android queen of Uranus has absconded with Moxie's identity in order to destroy all we earthlings hold dear. The real Moxie whisks the audience back in time to save us all. She’ll sing; she’ll tell jokes; she’ll play her ukulele; she’ll do anything to stop the alien androids of Uranus! You’ll laugh like your life depends on it! (It does!) Don’t miss this show! It could be your last chance—literally!
Moxie Magnus and the Alien Androids from Uranus!
