Happy New Year! Franki Markstone has been a driving force in Florida's Burlesque revival since 2003. Boasting an impressive and extensive list cast and troupes she works with, she has made it a personal goal to constantly evolve her art, and bring as many facets to her own form as possible. Known specifically her love of all things nerdy, geeky and freaky, Franki's signature acts are a constant revolving door of fandom. Ranging from the worlds of Harry Potter and Middle Earth, to DC/marvel and Death Note. She always has something new in the works, and we can't wait to see what she's bringing with her this time!
