Your host for tonight's events is Dannie Higginbotham!

Dannie Higginbotham was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota but spent most of her childhood in a traveling circus, dancing in the street with a tambourine for pennies while her pet goat secretly robbed people. She's been doing stand up in Hong Kong for nearly three years but isn't new to the stage; you may recognize her from some of Bangkok's finest "Ping Pong Enthusiast" shows. When not dining with millionaire playboys/ secret superheros, she likes to stay at home and make up ridiculous things about herself while thinking of pun centric names for the many, many cats she will one day have. She looks forward to meeting new people and introducing them to Chairman Meow and Natalie Purrrrtman.
