About Me
From live broadcasts to podcast chats, I love creating authentic connections that engage audiences and celebrate stories.
Performer and Producer
Since 2018, I've produced the Catbaret!, NYC's cat-themed variety show featuring comedy, music and purr-lesque. And, under my stage persona, Gemma Stone, I host Reali-Tease Burlesque, a parody where reality TV meets the art of the tease. My work has been featured in the New York Times, Time Out NY, AMNY and more.
On-Camera Host and Spokesperson
Connecting with audiences is my specialty. As an on-air spokesperson in the animal welfare space, I’ve made 15+ live broadcast appearances — with kittens — including Cheddar News, Sherri, Amazon Live, Pix 11 New York Living, Fox Weather and New York Live.
Podcast Host
In "Tails and Tassels," I interview burlesque and nightlife performers about their craft, their cats and the creative lives they’re building. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and beyond.
Let's work together!
Whether you need an emcee, on-camera host, spokesperson or creative collaborator, I bring energy, warmth and professionalism to every stage and screen.
