S10 E284: Beyond the Sea w/ Mickey Mae

About this episode

Viktor Devonne interviews burlesque performer Mickey Mae about her career, personal challenges, and the evolution of her art.

The night before she hit the red carpet with her son Daeg for HBO's Euphoria season 2 (he plays Mitch), Viktor Devonne talks with the San Diego legend Mickey Mae the Little Meramid about her beginnings in cabarets and strip clubs in burlesque in Guam. Further topics include not rushing to take your clothes off, raising a child in show business, acting in horror movies, is Rob Zombie really nice, soberiety and overcoming addiction, aging, and meeting up with folks at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in the last 2 years. She was re-discovered by happenstance and returned to burlesque via BHOF's weekender, and is incorporating rap music and va-va-va-voom as she approaches 70. Note: we talk about substance abuse and some medical work, so check in with your needs. This chat was recorded on April 4, 2026.
