Quinn Fontaine

Quinn Fontaine is a TRANSguy and an inspirational speaker. He is 2.5 years into his transition and has a background in all things expressive [standup, sketch and improvisational comedy, installation work and found object sculpture]. He began his studies in Communications Media as a female at Simmons College in Boston and continued his education studying Performance/Video at the California College of the Arts in Oakland. Fontaine went on to star in the independent feature, Some Prefer Cake. He also co-wrote, co-produced and co-starred with the sketch comedy troupe Nude Coffee, playing venues throughout the United States and Europe, most notably Edinburgh’s International Fringe Festival. Fontaine’s first-ever one person show LEARNING TO STAY was selected for fellowship with The Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship. Fontaine’s second solo show pre-transition, aptly titled KATHLEEN FONTAINE: THE MAN, THE MYSTERY, played to sold out audiences. He’s just written his first book, HUNG LIKE A SEAHORSE…A Real-Life Transgender Adventure of Tragedy, Comedy, and Recovery.
