Attn Bay Area Orgers... Get your tickets for Varla Jean Merman.

ok dokie everyone.

All you orgers out there looking for cabert/burlesque type show. Get your asses to the Victoria Theatre.

Oct 13-22 a friend of my ex bf is performing his newest show.
VARLA JEAN MERMAN'S
I'M NOT PAYING FOR THIS!

written by and starring Jeffery Roberson
additional material written with Jacques Lamarre and Michael Schiralli
costumes by Philip Heckman
produced by Mark Cortale
directed by Michael Schiralli

The Victoria Theatre
2961 16th Street at BART
Thursday - Saturdays at 8pm
For more info visit www.victoriatheatre.org
or call 415-863-7576

if you've never seen his show you're in for a treat. he is a comic genius. over the summer he was alternating between a harlious verison of Dirrty and Welcome to the Jungle. I'm not sure which one he stuck with but it's great. It's based losely on the story of Eve and also the Seven Deadly Sins.

GO! it's worth it, and it's cheap. Only $20.

ok i'm done pushing but you really should go!

all my SoCal orgers she'll be in LA in January.

"...a delirious synthesis of Divine, Karen Finley, and Montserrat Caballé and even those who think drag has had its day swear that this big, beautiful creature is kind of demented genius."
- TIME OUT NEW YORK

Merman combines the physical presence of a buxom Russ Myer starlet with a hint of perky Doris Day and the brassiness of her spiritual mother, Ethel Merman."
- VARIETY

"...he can belt like Shirley Bassey and hit notes in Kathleen Battle territory."
- NEW YORK MAGAZINE

"...the singer blurs the line between what is feminine and what is artifice...the mountainous peaks and troughs of her vocal range defied expectations."
- SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY

"...a deliciously loony sensibility...a voice that suggests a happy collision of Shirley Bassey and Barbara Cook...imagine it in a lounge act of a much younger Ann-Margret as conceived by John Waters and you'll have an idea of the irresistible insanity in store for you"
- BAY WINDOWS





after seeing Jeffrey watching tired drag queens trying to lypsynch will never be entertaining again.

if you know of a venue just have them call Jeffrey's manager and set something up.
