What the Funk?! is the story of the first inaugural What the Funk?! an All BIPOC Burlesque Festival that was held in Seattle, Washington in August of 2019. The film follows Founder and Producer, Kia Puckett, in this labor of love as they explore what it means to rewrite the rules of burlesque to build a supportive community of performers for both personal and professional development.

Mx. Pucks A’Plenty is #17 on the 21st Century Burlesque Magazine's Top 50 Most Influential Burlesque Industry Figures of 2021, as voted for by thousands of burlesque fans and peers worldwide. They are the Founder and Co-Producer of What the Funk?!, an All BIPOC Burlesque Festival. As a plus size queer femme of color and a vocal member of the kink scene, Mx. Pucks knows their politics, body, and sex are always potent and radical. In fact, they have an illustrious burlesque career as an international headliner at multiple festivals including the FIERCE! Queer Performing Arts Festival and Panama Burlesque Festival.
