Bunny Fisher celebrates the joy and liberation that accompanies increasing age. The unleashed confidence that directs what comes next. Living your best life, fulfilling your dreams and finding love at any age. Bunny takes you on a musical journey of liberation, loss, reality and love, where ANYTHING GOES! She sings not only Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, Mercer and Arlen, but also songs from different genres, including “novelty”, musical theater and pop, all of which tell the story of what love in the “3rdAct” can be. Accompanied by famed arranger, composer and pianist, Christopher Marlowe, the two present an evening of humor and laughter as heard in, “Billions of Beautiful Boys” alongside deeply emotional ballads such as “Time After Time.” A little naughty!

Today, Frankie Mamone is honored to continue Les' legacy of showcasing the most popular and talented performers of the Coachella Valley for your entertainment.
