Reply to "57 Varieties ( Club 57 Remembered)"

Bill Landis (Sleazoid Express) befriended Ondine and somehow convinced him to star in an original play called Ondine is Burr - the Life of a Muffin Queen. It was all about Raymond Burr's shit eating fetish. The script was unbelievably awful,but Ondine made the most of it and hammed it up to the hilt. All of the action took place on the Ironsides set, so Ondine sat in a wheelchair barking out lines like, "Marcus! Manservant, come and attend me! I require your services immediately for I am a muffin queen!" Marcus was played by Jimmy Joe. Ironside's secretary was played by me. I don't remember whether Bill was in the play too or if he just stood on the side of the stage calling out directions and lines to us the whole time.

Bill flyered the whole East Village but only 5 to 10 people showed up.
