Year IX · August 8, 2026

the lineup.

Forty-plus performers. Nine years of Atlanta's most extraordinary talent. Every act over 40 — and every act worth every minute.

Host · Emcee

Ivana Coquetu

The Ringmaster

The legendary host of Cougar Club ATL returns for Year IX. Ivana brings nine years of irreverent wit, impeccable timing, and an iron grip on the room.

CCATL·001

Burlesque

Scarlett Vaudeville

Neo-Burlesque

A master of slow reveals and dramatic pauses. Scarlett's act is equal parts vintage glamour and modern provocation — the room never sees the ending coming.

CCATL·002

Drag · Comedy

Duchess Maxine

Drag Royalty

Duchess Maxine has been ruling Atlanta's stages for two decades. Her lip-sync precision is surgical. Her comedy is a scalpel. Her gowns are architecture.

CCATL·003

Jazz · Vocals

Marlowe Blue

Live Vocals

Marlowe's voice is a room-stopper. Drawing from jazz, soul, and classic cabaret, she delivers originals and standards with the authority of someone who has earned every note.

CCATL·004

Stand-Up · Storytelling

Remy Delacroix

Comedy

Remy's set is a love letter to the absurdity of middle age — the indignities, the revelations, the moments where you laugh because the alternative is worse.

CCATL·005

Dance · Cabaret

Celestine Noir

Showgirl

Celestine trained in Paris, performed in Vegas, and chose Atlanta. Her choreography is precise, her presence is enormous, and her feather work is genuinely dangerous.
