PERFORMER SHOWCASE ON THE CAFE STAGE: FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME, ON THE HOUR

SINGLE - WITTY - SURVIVOR

"My name is Aaron or Holly. I am 41,

single, transgender, adhd, 3 times cancer survivor, and had about a decade experience as a residential painter, while picking up a variety of skills in other trades.

Words used to describe me are: funny, witty, resilient, thought-provoking, hard working. knowledgeable, kind hearted, stubborn, and “old soul”.

In my life’s journey so far I have picked up many life skills, have had many life assumptions challenged & changed over 4 decades, made many unique friends, experienced the ups & downs of dating & relationships, been dealt difficult health adversities and continue to pick myself back up so that I may continue my path."

PLAYFUL, PUNCHY & PERVY
