TESTIMONIALS
DEAL ME IN: THE SHOW
“Creator, director and producer Etana Wasley has gone all in, creating a production that's bold, playful and gloriously unpredictable. Blending cabaret, burlesque, circus, drag, comedy and audience participation into one delightfully chaotic package, Deal Me In knows exactly when to raise the stakes and when to cash in on the laughs. Phones are encouraged, cheering is practically compulsory, and don't be surprised if you find yourself swept onto the stage before the final hand is dealt.”

TESTIMONIALS
DEAL ME IN: THE SHOW
“Etana Wasley's Scarlett Voss deals a little magic into proceedings with slick card manipulation, illusions and commanding stage presence. Wasley's cheeky personality and impeccable comic timing shine through every dance, adding an infectious sense of fun that keeps the audience firmly on side. Whether dancing, fighting or steering the action forward, Wasley never misses a beat and proves every casino needs someone willing to keep the game moving.”
