Scott Happel produces a variety show called Carnivale de Sensuale. Chelsea aka Claire Voyant is the cast's resident magician. In the spring of 2018, the big opening number was soundtracked by comedy music act Ylvis's novelty hit “What Does the Fox Say.” Scott asked Chelsea to dress up as the fox and perform all the crazy / weird hypothetical fox sounds in the song. Recently, Chelsea celebrated her birthday at a Denver speakeasy. In lieu of an easily accessible fox fit, Happel enlisted me to perform the Ylvis ditty - as the Grim Reaper - ridiculous noises and all. The musical callback had Chelsea on the verge of tears.

Carnivale de Sensuale is celebrating its tenth anniversary in mid-October at The Oriental Theater - RSVP here.
