Big Dyke Energy
A Solo Cabaret by Jenn Colella

She’s got pipes, punchlines, and a whole lotta pride. In Big Dyke Energy, Jenn Colella brings the house down with 70 minutes of music, mischief, and unapologetically queer storytelling.

From Broadway beltathons to tender queer ballads, from middle school crushes on gym teachers to modern dating disasters, this solo show is part concert, part confessional, and all heart.

Expect powerhouse vocals, high femme realness, and some extremely gay agenda items. Whether you’re a theater kid, a baby gay, a proud elder dyke—or just here for the vibes—this is your invitation to laugh, cry, sing along, and feel seen.

Because Pride is year-round, and this dyke came to sing, play and slay.

Featuring Chris Ranney as Music Director/Pianist

Come see why BroadwayWorld cabaret critic Stephen Mosher says, “I don’t believe I have ever seen an artist work a room the way that this singing actress does, and that’s what had me gobsmacked. Anybody who has only ever seen her play a part should get her concert appearances on their radar so that they, too, can go and learn, first hand, what it is to be Gobsmacked By Colella.”
