"Bringing Violet O'Hara on board for my troupe's annual showcase of Austin burlesque performers was such a treat! As a producer, I appreciated both her dedication to researching my performers (before I even sent her their info) and her execution on stage. It's always a relief to bring an emcee on board who both understands the history of burlesque and how to warm a crowd up and keep 'em going. I never once had to follow up with her in all our planning. As an emcee, she is organized and prepared as well as engaging, funny and charming. An absolute ASSet to our community!" Zaftigg Von BonBon, Black Widow Burlesque
"Her professionalism and experience was key to making this event successful. I am so extremely thankful for Violet. She kept the flow of the activities moving and evenly spaced. She was very supportive and helpful with all of my preparations; and also helped soothe me during the event. Her vivacious energy kept the crowd engaged and excited. If Violet is game, I’d like her to be the official emcee of all of the events produced by Witches’ Ball Charities!" Carrie Miller, Witches' Ball Charities
“Violet O'Hara is an amazing emcee. She has worked with the nonprofit charity I am with several times as our event emcee. Violet does her homework. She knew our mission statement, our accomplishments & what our charity does and worked it into her routine to educate while she entertains. She has hosted burlesque shows, pin up contests, and general events for us. She is dynamic, intelligent, entertaining, professional and a real pleasure to work with. The audience loves her. I will book her again and again; as I feel she is the best.” Stacey Lea, Pinups For Pitbulls, Inc.
“Violet has a trademarked way of commanding the attention of the room. She's able to captivate her audience and communicate even the dullest of announcement with style, flare and untouched enthusiasm. I had the blessed opportunity to have her host my 29th Wonderland Birthday party and OH MY, did she deliver! Arriving in full faerie costume, covered in glitter, love and laughter! If you haven't experienced her infectious laugh, don't walk, RUN to her next MC performance! I hope to see her at my 30th, that's how awesome she is, she will lift your spirit and add that extra sparkle and piazzas to your event. I'm in love and you will be also!” Heather Cherie, Wellness Center of North Texas
“Violet O'Hara will always be my first choice for an event emcee. Always. She is supremely professional. Totally reliable. Unflappable, prepared and resilient. Her timing is impeccable, her skills unmatched, and her attire divine every time. I recommend Miss Violet O'Hara. Always.” Julia Schloss, CEO of Resurrection Art Events and Design, LTD
“For seven years, Violet has graced my stages with her glowing, radiant, effervescent and unique stylings. She works with grace, class and complete professionalism. Her joy is contagious; her strong stage presence is second to none, and damn, can she make people laugh! I would schedule my shows around her availability. She's that good.” Lisa Carmen, Founder of Sacred Sexy U and The Burlesque Experience
"After seeing Violet bring the house down at multiple DFW area burlesque events I knew her upbeat personality, cheeky sense of humor, and quick on her feet improv skills would make her the perfect emcee for the annual Dallas Fetish Ball. Miss O'Hara kept the audience on their toes and won them over with her kinky puns and wordplay. She was also extremely professional, appearing on time for all meetings and call times and always responding in a timely manner. I'd work with her again any day." Courtney Crave, Producer of Dallas Fetish Ball and Freaks & Fetish
“I’ve had the pleasure of watching Violet O’Hara emcee multiple shows over the past few years, and was so impressed with her work that I hired her to emcee the 2013 Oklahoma City Burlesque Festival. Violet is a fun, loveable emcee that knows how to serve just the right amount of saucy. She is also very professional and punctual, qualities that are greatly appreciated by any producer. I would gladly recommend Violet O’Hara to anyone looking for a quality emcee!” Adele Wolf, Producer and Founder of the Oklahoma City Burlesque Festival and Adele Wolf’s Burlesque and Variety Show
“Miss Violet O'Hara is the swiss army knife of emcees as a stellar professional performer and comedienne utilizing snarky wit, audience interaction, pop culture references and when warranted a racy humor. Combine that with a unique sense of style and a larger-than-life stage presence that belies her petite stature and you have a hostess that will have your crowd ready for whatever follows her. I have been lucky enough to not only witness her talent as a fan in the audience more times than I can count but also have her host selected events of my own. She comes with my highest praises and recommendations.” Jarrod Fresquez, Partner at Fresquez Advisors, LLC and Advisor at Abstract Method Marketing
Press Reviews
"Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Violet O’Hara (wearing a purple gown with purple boa) has a sassy entertaining wit. Her energetic personality shines as she pumps up the audience and introduces the acts. As she starts talking, most new spectators are surprised and not expecting her to tell us, “That last act was fucking awesome!” I hear audience members turn to each other and say, “That is exactly what it was… fucking awesome.” The thing is, Miss Violet O’Hara requires audience participation, she will not let someone in the audience just sit there…" Wire08 of Boomstick Comics
"A highlight of the evening was the emcee herself, the wise-cracking, voluptuous and sassy Violet O’Hara. This diva was a devil on the stage and owned it with her stunning presence, glitter red lipstick, and entertaining tongue-in-cheek dialogue." Susan Friedman, Friedman Marketing and Public Relations
“Burlesque emcees are tasked with guiding the audience on a magical and tantalizing journey of awe and excitement. Miss Violet O’Hara does just that by bringing her own brand of cutesy crudeness to the stage. Her fairy princess ensembles stumps onlookers as she fires off one F bomb after another. But all in attendance fall under her spell when she lifts their spirits with her infectious laugh. Miss O’Hara is a one of a kind, unicorn joyride.” Shannon Schmidt, SchmidtySays.com
"The host/hype-girl for the evening, Violet O’Hara, bantered back and forth with theatergoers, dropping playful innuendo, and she performed, belting out a racy version of the “Happy Birthday” song." Fort Worth Weekly
"The Nearly Naked Nutcracker was one part comedy, one part dance and all things sexy. The host, the lovely Miss Violet Sugar Plum Fairy, entertained the audience with jokes and stories in between dances, profiling on her acclaimed ecdysiasts — “that’s a fancy word for strippers,” she said with a grin — and talking of the naughty things she would do to her darling Rat King later."

“Violet O'Hara brightens up the stage with her very own sparkly mix of glamour and irreverence.” Ginger Valentine
"Marvelous job hosting a marathon of burlesque! You are a fireball of energy, charm and wonderment!" Grace Gotham
“Miss Violet is the consummate professional and so easy to work with. On-stage she has the perfect mix of humor, bubbly-ness, and energy to keep the crowd engaged and entertained. Off-stage she is warm and professional, and does whatever is needed to ensure her best possible performance. Her experience makes the producer's job that much easier. She is a truly delight to work with and to know, on and off the stage!” Zenda LaBelle
Audience Reactions
“The first time I saw Miss Violet O'Hara perform, she was hosting a charity rummage sale and easily turned that sleepy little venue into a fun EVENT. Ever since, I have made a point to seek out her performances because I know that she brings an amazing sense of humor and energy to everything she does. She is definitely a favorite of mine.” Glenn Smith
“Miss Violet O’Hara makes any event she emcees even more fun than it would have been otherwise! Any time I see that she’s the emcee at an event, I think, “well, I should go to that!” She’s the perfect package – fabulous laugh, sparkling eyes, saucy mouth, and wicked wit.” Dawn Smith
“Thank you for the laughs sprinkled with gorgeousness and some ‘tude!” Karen Mayer
“Roses are Red, Violets are Spectacular!” Dee Hill
A LIMERICK OF PRAISE
There once was a diva, Miss Violet.
That girl really knew how to style it!
She performed as emcee
So fabulously
That I’m calling her Miss “ULTRA”-violet.
So, praise to Miss Violet O’Hara
The stage is her personal “Tara”
She displays her great wits
Instead of her tits
While the others onstage all go bare-ah!
Laura Ainsworth, Eclectus Records artist
Let her energetic effervescence add magic and merriment to your production or event!
