The hostess who holds the whole show together, and sings the dirty jazz nobody else remembers.
Three years in a principal role in a Vegas Strip musical. Weekly residencies in two of Las Vegas's most talked-about rooms. A burlesque festival she built from nothing in Denver. She writes the show, casts it, sells it, and then walks out and runs it.
Now booking residencies, hosting and full productions
Four ways venues book her. Most start with one and come back for another.
Spicy songs, filthy jokes, and a crowd that comes back on a Wednesday. Her late-night cabaret For Adults Only ran weekly in Las Vegas at Lost Spirits Distillery and then The Golden Tiki. Solo with tracks or with a live band. Built for bars, lounges, tiki rooms, speakeasies and supper clubs.
Previously held Lost Spirits Distillery, The Golden Tiki, Bender's Tavern, Bar Standard, Voodoo Comedy Playhouse
Emcee for revues, festivals, galas and anything with a running order. She keeps the pace up, the crowd loud and the stage manager calm. Festivals in London, Edmonton, New Orleans, Dallas, Atlanta, St. Louis, Albuquerque and Las Vegas have handed her the mic.
Scale From back rooms to full theatres
She writes, casts, markets and hosts her own shows, from one-night theatre revues like Tickled Pink and the GALS Weekender to the two-night, two-venue Mile HIGH Burlesque Fest. You bring the room and the bar; she brings the show and the audience.
See it How she produces the Fest
Her offstage name is also her daytime act: a vintage jazz and blues concert with a live trio, no pasties, no profanity. She has played it in library halls, corporate rooms and daytime festival stages. As she puts it, Reyna is the one you're free to take outside in public.
Format Voice with a live piano trio
Two minutes of her on a stage says more than this whole page.

Lost and Found collects the songs she sang week in, week out in Las Vegas. Smokin' Reefers is a set of 1930s songs about, well, that.
The definitive hostess with the mostest, part Mae West, part Blowfly, a dash of Ed Sullivan and a flash of Lisa Lampanelli, she's the glue that holds the show together, the turbine that speeds it along, and the joke-dealing, pun-wielding mistress of the nod and the wink.Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle

Residencies are where she earns her keep. These are the stages that kept asking her back.
Cora Vette, offstage Reyna Von Vett, is a Las Vegas emcee, singer, comic and actress. She spent three years as Tanya in Mamma Mia! at Mandalay Bay, playing to more than a million people, then took her vintage dirty jazz and blues into weekly residencies at Lost Spirits Distillery and The Golden Tiki.
Before Vegas she was the madam of Denver burlesque, running weekly nights for years, writing two burlesque musicals, and founding the Mile HIGH Burlesque Fest, which she still produces. She has hosted festivals across the United States, in Canada and in London. Her newest album is Lost and Found.
