The unglamorous side of the glamorous life of a showgirl. Raw, funny, unapologetic… okay, sometimes apologetic. Based on her Las Vegas Weekly column and critically acclaimed stage show, Maren Wade can’t stop confessing. So naturally, Confessions of a Showgirl® has gone where all best-kept secrets end up: a podcast. The series is hosted by Maren Wade — singer, headliner, and showgirl-turned-columnist from NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Now she’s inviting fellow performers to spill their own confessions: the hilarious twists they survive onstage, and the even more extraordinary things they’re doing offstage. Outrageous, unfiltered, and glamour-ish.2025 Art Entertainment & Performing Arts Social Sciences
