The world's premier burlesque simian. Accept no substitutes. I've performed in New Orleans, SF, LA, Vegas, and in Times Square, been featured in a burlesque book (Michelle Baldwin's "Burlesque & the New Bump-n-Grind") and the short film Camp Burlesque , and I've been on TV a couple times. Famous people love me. Most importantly though, I kicked Koko's ass.
Winner in the SF Bay Guardian's annual "Best of the Bay" 2004. For what award? Why, BEST GORILLA , of course. (See about halfway down the page.)
Standard bio here:
--------------------------------
The incredible Gorilla X, Gorilla to the Stars™, got his start in 2001 as a young gorilla, initially getting his large furry feet wet at the Tease-o-rama burlesque convention in New Orleans. Fueled by bananas and Red Bull— along with a desire to become the premier simian entertainer in the country and to be a good role model to young gorillas everywhere— he has gone on to take the world by storm. The consummate entertainer, Gorilla X has appeared in venues both highbrow and lower-than-lowbrow. His popularity has even extended to the entertainment world at large, where Gwen Stefani and No Doubt recently invited him to appear onstage with them. Recently seen hobnobbing with the likes of Maury Povich and Marilyn Manson (not at the same time, however)— and with mentions in the SF Weekly, the SF Guardian, and the San Jose Mercury News— Gorilla X's world domination is well underway.
