Ramona Retrograde

05/05/2026

2 Years of Ramona! I'm a little more slow and intentional with performing this year, but I'm having a great time 💛 I love getting to do what I do, and who I get to do it with!

The burlesque community of Des Moines means so much to me and I'm proud of the very sexy weirdness we create together.

Happy Ramona-versary!

(I'm 99% sure all of these photos are from Mr. Gram shout-out Mr. Gram!)

We're nearing the end of Spooky Season, my loves! I am so pumped to be joining some of the sexiest humans on the planet for the Halloween Edition of Dark Orchid Cabaret this weekend!

The Funniest Person in Iowa ™️ is going to be taking the stage with her spooky, sultry side this Friday! Can you believe Halloween is just FOUR days away? That means 4 more days to get tickets for Grave Pleasures!

Ramona Retrograde is a Des Moines-based performer who will change everything you know about the manic pixie dream girl. She's quirky, flirty, and fun, but it's not for your plot development anymore. Are you ready to embrace your Main Character Energy with Ramona Retrograde? She can fix you- but she won't.

I can't believe it took me this long to do a comedy act 🖌️🎨🍑💃🏻

The Messy Show was a hit! I am so so proud of this number and how much joy I felt creating some art with my whole ass body. The painting went to a very loving home! I can't wait to see what nonsense I'll come up with next 💛

Thanks Mr. Gram for always capturing the magic!

It's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby ✨✨✨

The entire goal of this number was to show off my butt and the boa I made all on my own. Mission Accomplished 😈

Thank you to Mr. Gram for making me feel like every side is my good side!
