They first took the stage as a wee kitten in Spokane, WA, but now calls Olympia, WA her home. The Doctor got her start behind the scenes in 2012 and has been a solo burlesquer shimmying her way across the pacific northwest since 2019. This Doctor wants to make you feel good! They can be found pawing around backstage and front of house assisting in stage and box office management, when not pouncing around on stage. This professorial pussycat is here to be adored and twirl a tassel or two! The Doctor’s take on neo-burlesque with a sprinkle of comedy and nerdlesque will keep you in stitches! Dr. Tabby Kat is here to cure what ails you one bump and grind at a time and remind you that curiosity created the cat!
