Justin Bond is a celebrated queer iconic performer out of New York City.

He is most well known as one of his drag incarnations, Kiki, an aging, bitter chanteuse known for her raucous and edgy medleys of unusual cover songs. She performs with her piano-playing sidekick, Herb, as Kiki and Herb.[1] Their show Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway was nominated for a 2007 Tony for Special Theatrical Event.[2]

Justin also performs as himself, with his backup band, the Freudian Slippers.

Bond also appears, playing himself, in the film Shortbus (released October 2006), and, as Kiki, in Paul Festa's film Apparition of the Eternal Church[1].
