Gabrielle Leonore won Tampa Fringe’s Social Good Award in 2019 for her show “(Re)union” and now she’s bringing nazis, Elon Musk, sex and drugs to the stage for an 18-and-up comedy in Ybor City.

“This show has everything,” Leonore, from St. Petersburg, wrote about “My Life as an ‘Inspirational Porn’ star.” “It’s more than just your regular one-show: it’s stand-up,
burlesque, and a deep character study all in one. If I can make someone feel seen through this piece,
then I’ve fulfilled my role as an artist by becoming the person I wish I had growing up.”

To show heads to Edinburgh Fringe later this year, but not before stopping in Tampa starting June 14.

Tickets to see “My Life as an ‘Inspirational Porn’ Star” starting June 14 at Tampa Fringe 2025 are still available and start at $15.
