Best known for founding the outdoor NYC drag festival Wigstock, LADY BUNNY has moved onto film (Wigstock: The Movie, To Wong Foo, Another Gay Sequel) TV ("S-x and The City", "The Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson" and "Rupaul's Drag U.") In print, Bunny contributes to Star Magazine's popular Worst Of The Week column every week and in 2010 was selected by V Magazine, along with Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga, as one of NYC's most notable residents. Bunny tours constantly with her bawdy night club act, headlining at clubs and gay pride events nationwide and somehow finds time to DJ as well at private bashes for celebrities ( Iman, Naomi Campbell, Andy Cohen, Kelly Ripa) as well as at annual events like the Empire State Pride Agenda's Hamptons fundraiser.

With her oversized bouffant hairdos, Bunny is hard to miss-- as Lady Gaga found at her Madison Square Garden concert as the pop diva gave the drag diva a shout-out on her Monster Ball HBO special. Bunny's one woman show ran for five months at La Escuelita and received rave reviews including one from the NY Times which wrote "Most of Lady Bunny's best lines are unprintable here, but more than any performer I saw this year 'the old pig in a wig,' as she calls herself, made me weep with laughter, often while groaning with disgust. And isn't that what the best low comedy is all about?"

The American dream came true for Catalina Popescu in October of 1986 when she and her husband Bob created a supper club devoted to serving an experience of superb eats and the shared magic of live performance. That grand experience began at the door where every night her mother Maria would greet each guest as family and share in their love of music. Housed in Hollywood and decked out in a timeless charm, the club offers a cozy ambience under sparkling stage lights garnished with its signature concoction — Jazz. The first artist to grace the stage was the masterful flutist and saxophonist Buddy Collette, and ever since then, over the past 36 years, the Catalina Jazz Club has hosted the most illustrious legends of all time — from the powerful puffers of Dizzy Gillespie to the electrified fingers of McCoy Tyner, the bubbly belt of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lynda Carter, the flirtatious saxophone of Joshua Redman, the slick strumming of Kenny Burrell, the insane drum clinic of Steve Gadd, the romance of Steve Tyrell, and the masterclass of Mike Stern.

For Catalina, Jazz is our way of life. It breathes pain. It knows love. It dreams hope. It bleeds courage. Whether we’re showcasing Broadway, Soul, R&B, or stand-up comedy, the lesson learned from all the greats who have serenaded our spirits is how to connect to one another. And that’s why the Catalina Jazz Club will always have a table ready for you.

The Catalina Jazz Club has been honored by A.S.M.A.C., California Jazz Foundation, Los Angeles Jazz Society, and a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Appreciation on their 25th Anniversary, which was awarded by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council which included then City Council member and current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
