Hey Kids,
MargOH! has filled up her flasks and is heading over to Dixon Place March 30 9:30PM to present
her hit show Tipsy as part of the Works in Progress series...
“MargOH! Channing is Tipsy” is written and performed by drag lush MargOH! Channing (BT Shea). The show deconstructs drag through storytelling, song, and drunkglama dysfunction. MargOH! reminisces about her family, gay lovers and the ups and downs of her career while tackling such subjects as rape, incest, race, political correctness, sexual orientation, the power of Liza and most of all survival. Tipsy features MargOH!’s long time Gayiance’ MAN-ee Champagne (Jeff Catlow-Shea), Diamond Daquiri (Crystal Rona Peterson) as back up diva’s The MargOH!-tini’s and the Jarad Astin Trio. The show is directed by Thom Fogarty
MargOH!’s hilarious stage shows and bombastic vocal stylings have become something of an event on the downtown scene and are always must-sees for her ardent fans which have included several performances by her dear friend Nellie McKay. After speaking by phone with Ms. Channing she says herself; "I’m so thrilled to be debuting Tipsy at Dixon Place in March and thankful to my fans for drinking right along with me…the more they drink the more I do…My shows are a win, win for everyone! I’ve been overwhelmed by the love, support and kind words for Tipsy by friends and fans”. Burlesque star World Famous *BoB* called the show “Gay-mazing” , Photographer, writer and nightlife queen Gerry Visco said “MargOH! really knows how to give it her all”, Mike Diamond of Logo said “MargOH! is one hell of a broad and true star”, Next Magazine said “MargOH! is one part voice, three parts panache and fours parts boozy which made for an hysterical evening” and Kevin Novinski of Gay Socialites said “Gawd, this girl can sing”. Come see what all the buzz is about!
