DR. TORCHER
Highball Productions Producer
Dr Torcher (they/them) is a DC-based drag king and co-producer on the Highball Productions team. They produced and hosted the legendary monthly variety spectacle, the DC Weirdo Show, for four sold-out years. This show was voted Best of Gay DC "Best Queer-Friendly Night Out" by the Washington Blade in 2019. Bigger than a rolled-up sock in some boxer briefs, this king's toolbox of skills comes packed with improv, stand-up, clown, physical comedy, fire-eating, balloon manipulation, hooping, pole, magic, and puppetry. “Dr” is their PhD in Anthropology (no really!) and “Torcher” is what happens to your heart when they light that flame... and EAT it!
