Rita D’LaVane is the Witchy Hoe of the Hostess City
Spawn from the hauntingly beautiful marshlands of Savannah, Georgia, Rita D’Lavane emerges as a bewitching figure at the crossroads of gothic elegance and playful charm. Drawing inspiration from icons like Elvira, Dolly Parton, and Jennifer Tilly, this non-binary performer channels their artistry into what they call the ‘Witchy Hoe Gospel’ — a celebration of confidence, body positivity, and liberation.
Rita has enchanted audiences far and wide earning such titles, including the 2019 Duchess of Funk at the What the Funk?! BIPoC Burlesque Festival and Mx. Ohio Burlesque 2022. Most recently, they graced the stage as the headliner of the 2023 Dragon Con Glamour Geek Burlesque Revue, and featured at Northstar Nerdlesque Fest 2025. Through their spellbinding presence, they captivate fans with their mesmerizing performances. Rita invites you to join them in a ritual of empowerment, and embracing your true self.
