Mercy Be is an Astoria-based drag enchantress whose unique act features the violin, saxophone, live singing, outrageous comedy, and fierce looks. She comes from humble beginnings busking on the streets of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania to performing at NYC’s fabled venues including Sony Hall, House of Yes, Red Eye, Bowery Electric, 3 Dollar Bill, The Stonewall Inn, 54 Below, and more! In addition to collaborating with drag performers all around the city, Mercy performs regularly with NYC’s all drag band, The Bad Judies.
