Mina Minou; The Surreal Fairy Tale of Burlesque
Femme Clown for Hire
Mina Minou (she/none) an Iranian-American powerhouse in the fields of drag, burlesque, and the spaces between. A product of the infamous New York City world of back of the bar burlesque and drag, Mina is currently working out of Montreal, city of Sin and Saints. Mina’s been using her background as a mutidisciplinary artist to delight audiences across North America for the past 12 years, pulling from her dizzyingly diverse range of original characters. This kitten delights as a slime-oozing flower or a sentient volcano diorama, a clown with clinical depression or a flirtatious ice cream man. Mina casts spells with her movements that leave her audience enchanted: witness the surreal fairytale, come to life!

I love working with other creatives, whether you’re a performer or not, who are looking to augment their skills.
If you’re looking to work on your character building, sensual movement, confidence, improv, storytelling, slow burns, audience interactions, stage presence and more then I’d love to work with you!
I bring 12 years of experience performing, a life time of being a multidisciplinary artist, 10 years of facilitation, and a mind body somatic practitioner skill set to our work together to help meet you where you are. I love supporting artists as they grow more fully into themselves and it would be an honour to work with you!
