Al Varney was the Head Rigger and Flyman at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, for 5 years. He was also Head of Automations for Mamma Mia! Las Vegas.

He has had a long career in virtually all aspects of technical theatre. So basically...
If it needs screwed, glued, nailed, covered, stuffed, fluffed, glittered, carried, loaded, lifted, driven, crossed, hung, rung out, popped, mopped, painted, lit, assembled, automated, ran, blocked, gelled, spiked, stamped, shoveled, adjusted, bought, hunted down, wrestled, welded, forged, hammered, sweated, delivered, plumbed, raised, shot, recorded, cleaned, textured, gutted, colored, transported, cooked, or drank. If it’s done right, you can walk right by him, look right through him and never know he’s there.

As her notorious alter ego Cora Vette, she is your naughty hostess with the mostest. She is clad mostly in sparkle vinyl clothing that she makes herself creating costumes that have the longevity of a car seat and are ready for thousands of rear-end hours that she can happily provide. Cora Vette: Mouth of a sailor - Voice of an angel.
Cora Vette also hosts many national burlesque festivals such as the New Orleans Burlesque Festival, the Southwest Burlesque Showcase in Albuquerque, NM and Show Me Burlesque in St. Louis, MO.
