Cal Bee has performed queer-radical-roustabout-magic drag, music, and spoken word all over the country, including in the NYC Fringe Festival.

Perhaps their best-loved performance was after they were arrested for planting native seeds in a tar sands mine, and Cal and others were sitting about handcuffed in some police department’s trailer, where pamphlets warned about the danger of the Black Lives Matter movement and humorless, intimidating cops stood over them, and Cal took a deep breath and belted out:
“I AM A Consensual/ Pansexual/ I’ll sex you up
ONLY IF YOU WANT ME TO!”
Armed with a crew of gender morphing characters (personified), instruments, a gaggle of puppets, and a whole slew of words, Cal Bee jiggles loose the joints of capitalist hetero-patriarchy and out pops joy and a moment to practice liberation.
