Huckleberry Hopper is an American essayist, performer, and writer that blends raw honesty with dark humor. His stories navigate the awkward, intimate terrain between sex, grief, cultural confusion, and love—drawing from a background in essay writing, physical performance, and personal recovery.

He also performs under the burlesque persona Berry Thighsley, known for salacious, comedic stage work that invites vulnerability through satire and full-bodied presence. Past shows include Western Navel Gazing, Captain Buckfast, Coastie, and 50 Shades of Ron Weasley.

His current project, The Naked Soul of Man, reimagines Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition as a queer love story—fusing storytelling, movement, and original music for fringe festivals and cruise performance formats.

Huckleberry is currently traveling through the U.S. and South America and plans to relocate to Glasgow in late 2025 to expand his artistic practice and collaborate with fringe and indie performance communities.
