Meet the Host
Ivana Coquetú
Performer. Producer. Host. Provocateur.
"I'm not interested in polished. I'm interested in true."
Ivana Coquetú made her burlesque debut at 40 — after years of aerial competition — and hasn't slowed down since. She's performed everywhere from Coney Island's Seashore Theater to the National Reformative Jewish Rabbinical Convention. She's spent 18 years in the professional beauty industry as a salon owner, educator, and brand leader. And she built Joyride After Dark because the conversations she wanted to hear didn't exist yet. Now they air every Monday at 11 PM ET.
