I booked Envy for the Pride edition of Afro Drag in 2024. It was a pleasure working with them. They were professional, organized, and punctual. Additionally, their two performances were thought provoking, aesthetically beautiful and fun!

Envy performed at the 2023 ElleLui Halloween event & was the perfect addition to the party’s vibe. They’ve got the perfect mix of engaging the crowd and encouraging attendees to dance. Their style is so unique, sexy and bold—they were a highlight of the night for sure.

The workshop with Envy was fabulous! They taught us about clown history, its political and therapeutical purposes and mentored us into creating our own clown makeup!! Lots of helpful tools and tips were shared, and he was super accessible in his teachings :)
