Delta Badhand is still working on her EGOT. For now, she’s just got an EGO. A member of the Haus of Cuntlery and the Haus of ***, Delta is known for her winning personality and runner-up performances. Ms. Badhand is alive, well, and living in Roger’s Park, and is available for any gig you have for her as long as it isn’t difficult or annoying or strenuous on her petite yet shockingly curvaceous figure. You can follow Delta online on Instagram () for updates on future projects.

Beck Buechel (they/them) is a contralto, drag king, and Gilbert & Sullivan enthusiast who is deeply dedicated to q***r collaboration. Since arriving in Chicago, they have put a gender-fluid twist on as many roles as they can get their hands on. Some favorites include: L Understudy in TL;DR (Theo Ubique), Marcello in La Femme Boheme (Ouroboros Opera/Valkyrie Ensemble), Joan in Fun Home (Towle Theater), and Lancelot in Camelot (Janus Concert Series).

As Mx. O’Lydian, their motto is: If gender is a performance, I deserve a Tony Award. In 2021, they produced Savoyeurs! a virtual Gilbert & Sullivan drag show. They are a member of the Ring of Keys Network and a Board Member of Valkyrie Ensemble. They spend most of their time dreaming up ways to become a well-known niche cabaret legend. You can summon them at any time by singing a G&S tune into the night air.
