Tuesday Thomas, affectionately dubbed "The Punk Rock Dolly Parton," embarked on a life of gypsy-like wanderlust during her young adult years, traversing the United States and immersing herself in the intricacies of the human experience.
Her journey was marked by struggles with severe anxiety and PTSD, but it was her peculiar sense of humor that served as a beacon of hope and a shield against the darkness. As an outsider who never sought to conform, Tuesday's existence has been a perpetual dance between embracing her uniqueness and navigating the complexities of the world around her.
Tuesday's creative endeavors have garnered significant recognition, with her short film "Catastrophe Anthem" winning the prestigious Silk Road award at Cannes and earning official selections at Slam Dance and LAIFF. Her comedy special, "Tuesday's Trash," is available on Amazon Prime, and a documentary chronicling her life, "The Trash Goes Out on Tuesday," is currently in post-production, slated for release next fall.
As the host and producer of LA's premier underground dark comedic variety show, "Freak Show," Tuesday has been entertaining audiences for eight years, with the show also having expanded to 16 other cities. Her impressive comedic credentials include a graduate degree from The Groundlings, IO, Second City, and UCB.
Tuesday is also known for her presence on social media, where she has garnered a significant following as the "Tik Tok Tranma." Using her platform to raise awareness and promote acceptance, Tuesday has leveraged her experiences as an out trans woman to help others navigate their own journeys.
As a performer, Tuesday has graced the stages of some of the most iconic comedy clubs, including The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, and Punchline, as well as appearing on various television networks such as VH1, MTV, E!, and BBC World of Weird. When not on stage, Tuesday can be found at random public fountains, engaging in spirited conversations with pigeons.
