    Glamour and Grit: Blair Williams Takes the Stage

    Host Marty Milquetoast welcomes longtime Savannah drag performer Blair Williams to The Marty Show.   Blair shares how she picked her “real-sounding” stage name from a phonebook, what inspired her to start performing after seeing a drag show at 18, and that her first gig was at Scorpio in Charlotte, where other queens mentored her. She talks about being Miss Gay America about a decade ago, balancing drag with home life with help from her husband, and why she keeps saying yes to gigs.   Blair recounts onstage horror stories (falls, losing hair, slipping on a lime, and a disastrous Miss America talent), shouts out Savannah performers, and answers Marty’s poll. She shares where to find her on Facebook and Instagram and upcoming gigs during the club’s hiatus.   YEAH, YOU TAP THAT: Here's Marty Milquetoast Blair Williams on Facebook Blair Willaims on IG The Marty Show on IG WATCH The Marty Show on YouTube   FIND A FAVORITE SPOT IN THE EPISODE: 00:00 Welcome to Marty Show 00:46 Why Blair Now 01:57 Monologue Confessions 02:52 Meet Blair Williams 03:35 Choosing Drag Name 05:05 First Show Spark 06:04 First Gig Charlotte 07:40 Mentoring Drag Kids 08:42 Feeling Like Performer 10:11 Why Keep Doing Drag 11:14 Balancing Two Lives 12:45 Performance Horror Stories 16:30 Shoutouts Savannah Queens 17:28 Savannah Rising Stars 18:39 Fearless New Drag 19:03 Marty Poll Begins 19:47 Dream Shows and Snacks 21:06 Celebrity Run Ins 22:17 Quotes and Comfort Rewatch 23:54 Surviving and Thriving 24:47 Joy Pride and Gratitude 27:57 Who Blair Really Is 28:53 Love You Marty 30:10 Where to Find Blair 31:35 Final Ego Boost

    How to Make You MO-Na-Loud with The Marty Show & Burlesbian Mona Chrome

    Host Marty Milquetoast welcomes Savannah burlesque performer Mona Chrome, promotes Marty Milquetoast’s Halloween Extravaganza at Victory North in Savannah with performer submissions via email/Linktree, and briefly apologizes for a nearly-handy joke.   Mona shares how American Idol/The Voice, Taylor Swift, Disney Channel, and early vocal training led her to performing, including her second-grade talent show debut singing “The Show” by Lenka. She describes feeling like a real performer during Glitter Gutter at Club One, explains why burlesque fits her creative goals, and how she balances college, work, and performing while maintaining identity offstage.   Mona discusses her drive to create opportunities, a music-order disaster show that forced improvisation, shoutouts to Daddy Donyae and drag performer The Atlantic, celebrity encounters (Kristen Stewart, Ariana Madix, and Glee-related cast), pride in “adulting,” gratitude for community, and where to find her: Instagram @makeyoumonaloud and her YouTube documentary “Good as Gold: Pulling Back the Curtain” (Hot Honey Films), plus a June 26 Pride spot at The Black Rabbit.   YEAH, YOU TAP THAT: Here's Marty Milquetoast Mona Chrome on Instagram Good as Gold - Pulling Back the Curtain on YouTube The Marty Show on IG WATCH The Marty Show on YouTube   FIND A FAVORITE SPOT IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:44 Halloween Extravaganza Plug 02:03 Awkward Apology Bit 02:47 Meet Mona Chrome 03:05 Early Influences and Singing 04:08 First Talent Show Memory 05:18 Feeling Like a Pro 06:15 Why Burlesque Fits 07:31 Balancing School and Stage 08:34 Creating Your Own Gigs 10:18 Performer Horror Stories 12:55 Shoutouts to Watch 15:08 Marty’s Poll Begins 16:21 Dream Roles and Shows 16:49 Career Goals Shift 17:17 Festival Dreams 17:34 Vegas Residency Vision 17:45 Travel Struggles 18:10 Kristen Stewart Story 20:10 More Celebrity Meetings 21:07 Life Quote Philosophy 22:00 Comfort Rewatch Pick 22:17 Proud Adulting Milestone 23:41 Cat Joy Origin 24:25 Building Burlesque Community 25:31 Gratitude Check In 26:02 Wild Backstory Reveal 27:10 Ego Boost Moment 28:08 Where To Find Mona 29:55 Final Sign Off
