We recommend her whole-heartedly!"

WINNER OF THE QUEEN OF ROSES TITLE at the 2017 OREGON BURLESQUE FESTIVAL
&
2016's "KEEPIN' IT WEIRD" TITLEHOLDER!
Natasha Riot (formally known as Ona Monsoon) hails from the beauteous wilds of Portland, OR. A well versed and traveled performer, she has been stealing hearts and blowing minds all over the country as of late, taking her signature style of class and wit to festival stages, burlesque halls and bar tops. She is a regular monthly performer at one of the longest ongoing variety shows in the country, Dantes' Sinferno Cabaret in Portland, as well as being an integral part of San Francisco's Hubba Hubba Revue as both a performer and stage manager for many years.
Her style encompasses almost everything in, on, around and including the kitchen sink: classic showgirl burlesque, fire performance, bellydance fusion, comedic character and celebrity impersonations, deep, thoughtful, butoh influenced performance, and drag king performance, just to name a few.
Natasha's performances combine technique, wit, and sass that always leave her audiences entertained, enthralled, and perhaps a little bit titillated! Which is perhaps why she was crowned Queen of the Roses at the 2017 Oregon Burlesque Fest, was first runner up in the 2018 Shimmy Showdown improv competition, the proud recipient of the "Keepin it Weird" award in 2016!
Another, saucier persona that Natasha embodies is miss Izabelle Starling, who was first runner up in the 2017 Miss Exotic Oregon competition with this act (which also awarded her the 2017 Queen of Roses title! ).
