Justin Vivian Bond

Tango: My Childhood Backwards and in High Heels

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Doors at 7:30pm; Show at 8:00pm

"The greatest cabaret artist of his generation."

-The New Yorker

"Justin Bond is a trans-atlantic cabaret messiah" *****

-Time Out London

Mx. Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this candid and hilarious novella-length memoir.

Bond recalls in vivid detail how it looked and felt to first discover Mom's lipstick (Iced Watermelon by Revlon), and how dreary it could be for a trans/queer kid to join the Cub Scouts. Always haunted by the knowledge of being "different," Bond began to create intimate friendships with girls, and to feel increasingly at risk with boys. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LGBTQ adolescence, parenting trans/queer children, and bullying, while being utterly entertaining.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Sandra Bernhard

I Love Being Me, Don't You?

Tuesday, November 1st - Friday, November 4th, 2011

Doors at 7:30pm; Show at 8:00pm

"Give the dame her due... it's invigorating just to be in the presence, once again, of a true original."

-The New York Times

Backed by a smokin' band, Bernhard draws on her acclaimed new comedy recording of the same name to deliver her unforgettable blend of outrageous humor, cutting satire and fiercely energetic live performance. Since she first stepped on stage at the Comedy Store in the '70s, Sandra Bernhard has been challenging fans and critics with unforgettable stage shows, including Without You I'm Nothing, released as a feature film, Excuses for Bad Behavior, Giving 'Til It Hurts, Hero Worship, the Love Machine and Everything Bad and Beautiful. Described by WCBS as "Funny but foxy, super smart and slightly mad," Bernhard has delivered her edgy and incisive work in extended runs off-Broadway, as well as numerous tours throughout the U.S. and Europe.
