Ep. 6 Dust Yourself Off and Have a SnoBall in Hell with Lou Henry Hoover
What do you do after faceplanting in front of Ann Reinking? "Dust yourself off, pick yourself up, and start all over again" (Jazz Hands!) I chatted with the award-winning and well-traveled Lou Henry Hoover about his First Lady origins, fangirling over Fred Astaire, "serious" modern dance, bringing Femmes to the front of burlesque, stripping on Bourbon Street, why New York City tastes like pistachio lemon cream, lesbian tipping etiquette in 2023, and why you should never apologize for falling (or failing) onstage.
Shout outs to Kitten LaRue, the Atomic Bombshells, Cherdonna Shinatra, Waxie Moon, Jett Adore, and the late Donald McKayle and Ann Reinking.

More about Lou Henry Hoover:
Lou Henry Hoover is a drag/dance/boylesque artist that makes his living hoofing, choreographing, and teaching dance. He has been described as a purveyor of “hilarious dance magic,” and “a treasure beyond measure, a genius, a jewel, a muse” (The Seattle Stranger). Lou collaborates extensively with his wife Kitten LaRue. Kitten N’ Lou have been named the #1 Burlesque Performers in the world AND among the top 10 most influential burlesque performers of the decade (Burlesque Top 50), awarded Most Comedic and Best Duo by The Burlesque Hall of Fame. Together they have performed at such esteemed entities such as Joe’s Pub NYC and have toured from FringeWorld Perth around the globe as eminent headlining performers on the international burlesque and cabaret circuit. Lou’s work has been supported by The Seattle Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, 4Culture, and Artist Trust, among others. He is also the first drag king to compete for the title "Best in Boylesque" at BHOF and ultimately be crowned the first AFAB Mr. Exotic World, King of Boylesque (2017).
