Miss Malice is a high femme dyke drag artist who has been performing in New York City for over a decade. She is the resident “femmecee” of the award-winning Brooklyn drag collective Switch n’ Play and a frequent cast member of Sasha Velour’s drag revue, NightGowns. With Switch n’ Play, she’s performed at Lincoln Center, Bushwig, New York Live Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, and the New York Public Library. Most recently, she’s combined her love of drag and film by producing themed screening shows at Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park and hosting the outdoor summer horror film series “Sunday Scaries” at Parklife in Brooklyn. As a femmecee, she’s known for her quick wit, warm presence, and towering wigs. Inspired by the covers of lesbian pulp novels and the glamorous vampires and villains of 1960s B horror films, Malice combines research on queer history and culture, storytelling, and lip sync performance to explore queer femme identity onstage.
She was the winner of the Brooklyn Nightlife Award for “Best Femmecee” in 2018, and she is featured alongside her fellow Switch n’ Play collective members in the feature-length documentary “A Night at Switch n’ Play,” which celebrated its world premiere at Toronto’s Inside Out Film Festival in 2019. Since 2017, with Switch n’ Play, she has produced VAMP: a celebration of all things queer, decadent, and bloodthirsty that draws inspiration from the may from the many lesbian vampire themed film adaptations of Sheridan le Fanu’s novella Carmilla.
