Amy Saunders, AKA Miss Behave
“Party Tricks” Act Creation Workshop, Baduwa’t Festival 2026
Dell’Arte alumna Amy Saunders, better known by her stage name Miss Behave, is a British Variety legend whose career spans more than three decades of emcee-ing, speciality acts, and genre-bending entertainment.
An original member of global powerhouses La Clique, La Soiree and Absinthe, Saunders has been one of the founding players of the new wave of live entertainment since its inception.
She elevated her cult classic “The Miss Behave Gameshow,” to a global hit. It has been an explosive success wherever it plays from the likes of the Sydney Opera House to London’s Southbank as well as a three-year Las Vegas Strip residency, where it garnered “Most Outrageous Show,” “Best Strip Secret” and remained on the “Top 10 TripAdvisor Shows in Las Vegas” for its duration. Today, “Gameshow” has partnered with Virgin Voyages and currently has two full-time shows on two ships in various parts of the ocean.
With a deep passion for quality entertainment, she’s spent the last 5 years putting her money where her mouth is. First creating a showroom in Downtown Las Vegas, where she launched an accessible and affordable Variety show (‘Miss Behave’s Mavericks’) which went on to win ‘best cabaret’ in 2023. Not content with that she went on to restore one of the last original showrooms in LV to its former glory. Transplanting her beloved ‘Mavericks’ into this setting where it went on to win ‘best new production’ in 2025.
Equal parts ringmaster, provocateur, and den mother to the alternative performance scene, Miss Behave has built a reputation not only as a fearless performer but as one of the most generous and incisive mentors in contemporary Variety. She brings to her workshops a sharp directorial eye, decades of hard-won stagecraft, and an unmatched instinct for what makes an act truly land.
