When it comes to funny tweets about raccoons (and the occasional possum), no one writes them better than Roxi Horror, also known by her Twitter handle @RoxiQT.
This horror-themed comedian carved out her unique niche after a tweet about summoning demons went viral. Since she’s often got us in stitches (we mean that figuratively this time), we wanted to give her the spotlight. And make her do the hard work by answering our questions while we peruse her TeePublic shop.

Q&A with Roxi Horror
Darcy: You’re from Canada. Does cold weather make people naturally funnier?
Roxi Horror: Definitely. I think when you grow up with the constant fear that a moose could be lurking nearby, you are naturally funnier.
Who are some of your favorite other comedians (dead or alive)?
As far as stand-up comics go, I really enjoy Iliza Shlesinger and John Mulaney. Most of my favorite funny people are friends of mine that I’ve met through Twitter: @MichaelaOkla, @smithsara79, @PallaviGunalan, @Skoog, and @KylePlantEmoji to name a few.
We’d check them out but we’re scared of going on the Internet. Raccoons – why do you love them so much?
I can’t help but adore an animal that is not afraid to break into a coffee shop through the ceiling to steal a donut.
Fair. Do you have a favorite raccoon?
My favorite raccoon is a raccoon named Boomer who lives with my friend @CdyRnkn on Twitter. You may have seen Boomer around on Twitter. He is featured in a pretty popular raccoon video where he is wearing sunglasses and enjoying a nice drink in a flamingo pool floatie.
That’s the last time we let anyone film us on vacation. Who would win in a battle: Rocket or Meeko? Why?
I like to think that they would not fight each other and instead, team up to ransack a convenience store together. But to answer the question: Rocket would win because he has technology on his side.
How did you create or discover your niche?
My first viral tweet was about summoning demons and it just sort of became my personal brand. Roxi Horror is a silly reference to Rocky Horror and then my skull icon is art that I actually made. It all just seemed to mesh well together. I started tweeting about raccoons later.

What’s the worst horror movie you’ve ever seen?
The problem with horror movies is that the worse they are, the more I love them. Bad horror movies are actually great horror movies. My favorite horror movie is The Cabin in the Woods.
How’d you get into comedy? Any tips for breaking in? Or getting better at Twitter?
It’s kind of a weird story but my dad used to tell me on a regular basis that I was not funny. Then he died. Once he died, I decided to tweet something that was funny to me and it went viral.
Then a bunch of other comics started to notice me. We ended up talking and now I’m here. I think everyone has a different journey when it comes to how they start out in joke Twitter but mine started with my dad being wrong. So I guess my advice to anyone that wants to get into comedy on Twitter is to ignore the haters, believe in yourself and put funny stuff out there. Eventually, if it’s meant to be, other funny people will notice.
