As Hunter he performed regularly with more current famous drag queens such as Morgan McMichaels, and Raja (Sutan Amrull) as well as Delta Work (Gabriel Villarreal) and Chad Michaels, the current and previous producers of the long standing Dreamgirls Revue show held in mostly West Hollywood, CA. for nearly 35 years. He performed at Dillons(now Richs) in San Diego which is the home and start of the Dreamgirls Revue. It then moved to the Brass Rail in San Diego which is where Chad joined the show and met Hunter. For a two year period, he moved to NYC approximately 1997-99 and did clubs and shows in drag all over Manhattan. He also did a short time in Buloxi Mississippi working at a Casino in a show called La Cage. About 2000 until 2003, along with Miss Kiwi, he traveled to Lake Tahoe at Horizon Casino (run by Dan Gore) and was a regular cast member in "Carnival Cabaret". He then returned to Dreamgirls in West Hollywood and in others venues around all of Southern California. Everyone wanted to book him and he was working almost full time. According to Chad it was several times per week as he was in great demand for his talent. He is drag mother to Chad Michaels and grandmother to Morgan McMichaels. The staff of Dreamgirls always was teasing him about his secret of not telling his real age. According to Chad, they never actually learned the real year except once when someone was able to grab his driver's license. So the age above is an estimate and not verified. He was very into his craft and loved being very creative. His comedy was mostly influenced by people like Carol Burnett ...simple yet not crude humor.
