NEON CALYPSO
Boston, Massachusetts
insta: neoncalypso
A “Boston queen with a Brooklyn attitude”, Neon Calypso has been laying it down in drag for the past five years. In this time, she has risen the ranks of the Northeast scene to become one of the star performers of Sasha Velour’s popular drag revue Nightgowns. As a member of the House of Velour, Neon has performed across the world (including as part of the Party Monster Ball), and was recently featured in Sasha’s Quibi documentary series that followed Nightgowns on tour.
Ever creative and outspoken, Neon’s performances often centre around an eclectic mix of political commentary, slam poetry and high-energy dance music. For example, she recently represented her home state of Massachusetts in the alternative 4th of July digital drag show Untitled (America), which sought to uplift Black and Brown queer voices by showcasing a queen of colour from each of the fifty states. Neon hosts the only drag hip-hop night in Boston, where you can (in her own words) catch her "twerking upside down against walls", and also regularly performs across New York City and New England, the latter of which is, despite what you may have heard the iconic Chi Chi DeVayne say, not overseas.
