FEZ FAANANA
Is the co-founder of Common People Dance Project. Fez Faanana is an idiot, a clown, a drag artiste, a dancer/prancer, a Samoan (who is not a security guard, football player nor a kfc cashier), an Australian, a legal immigrant, an antagonist, a molly-coddler, an orchestrator, the love child of the bearded lady and ring master and the creative director of Briefs Factory. He is currently being an international superstar, travelling the world with his multi award winning all male burlesque show ‘BRIEFS’. Everyone should be really really jealous of him.
