 It’s the opening night of the Comeback Tour, 2025. Mae West is 132 years old and hotter than ever. Sex symbol, gay icon, and the O.G. prophet of Camp is back to do all her big hits and be commodified. Because... inflation.



With bio queen realness, high camp, and good-old-fashioned physical comedy, West is on full display through the lens of the true comedienne that she is. In a time where people's rights are moving backward, this show highlights the queen of the comeback, who despite censorship (Hollywood’s Hays code was invented for her), blacklists and ageism, championed visibility for women, gay men, black performers, and most of all, herself. Expect controlled hysterical chaos. Created in collaboration with Deanna Fleysher, star of TV's "King of Drag" inaugural season.

About the Artist

Fail Happy Productions is the brainchild of Wendi Wynazz, an award winning physical theatre artist who aspires to make the world more fabulous through comedy and deep art.


Based in the Bay Area & NYC (she's bicoastal b*tch), Wendi has been seen on the stages of America’s Got Talent, SF Sketchfest, and Cirque Du Soleil’s parking lot. She's extremely delighted to be the recipient of the San Francisco Comedienne of the Year award. 


Her “Fail Happy” clown workshops frequently sell out to everyone ready to celebrate the misstep. Climb onboard. Falling encouraged.
