Hello, New Friend! I'm Xena Zeit-Geist (they/them), and I specialize in irreverence, opulence, and daring brazenly to disturb the universe with my work. Oh, and pizzazz—I guess if you're a performer, you also technically specialize in pizzazz. 

 

Since 2014, I've made it my full-time job to entertain, inspire, and enchant the masses, whether it be onstage at a burlesque show, onscreen for a TV show or movie, or one-on-one in a photoshoot or consulting session. ​

​

Over the past decade, I've had the pleasure of starring in shows all over the world! I have toured with several comic cons performing, cosplaying, and hosting and producing shows as well as performing as a featured at over a dozen adult nightclubs since 2022 including at Hustler Las Vegas, Deja Vu Tijuana, and Sapphire NYC. Affectionately referred to as a "professional shapeshifter" I'm known for my ability to transform into different characters, aesthetics, and roles to suit my many different interests and bookings. In addition to dancing and producing, I'm are a SAG-AFTRA actor, a writer and an emcee.

​

In the burlesque world, I'm perhaps best known as the mastermind behind The Society of Sin Burlesque & Variety, the production company through which I bring most of my magic to the stage. I founded The Society of Sin in 2014 after the first burlesque show I wrote and produced, a Batman-inspired burlesque parody play entitled "Arkham ASSylum," was performed to sold-out crowds weekend after weekend. Since then, its creation in 2014, expanded to produce entertainment experiences of all sorts from standard classic burlesque and variety shows to high-camp plays to immersive risque events. Xena produces several regular shows, including The Opulence Hour a neoclassical burlesque & variety revue every Sunday night at Maison (in tandem with Associate Producer Ariana Amour), and large-scale themed nerdlesque plays, revues and immersive events, such as ttrpg-inspired burlesque adventure “Chaotic Good Time: The Select-Your-Own-Adventure Burlesque & Variety Show” and immersive high fantasy cabaret “Feys Gone Wild”!

 

When I'm not on set or in a show, I write sketches and scripts as well as doing standup comedy and improv. Making people laugh is one of my greatest passions! I also love photography, cosplay, and playing video games and D&D.

​

In addition to my stage skills, I'm an instructor and consultant. I love teaching people Burlesque 101, ways to break into the industry, how to produce your dreams show (and make money doing it), how to captivate audiences with emotion in your performances, and how to charm crowds as a host! Book a session with me today to begin your break-out moment into brazen, sparkly arts!

​

Whether you're looking for a cult classically-trained actor, a sparkly showpony, a chaotic good cosplayer, or a guide through the world of feathery, glittery world of burlesque, I look forward to making some magic together! 

​

XOXO,
