"Channing is one part voice, three parts panache and four parts boozy which made for an hysterical evening"- Next Magazine
"Dazzled the crowd with song, dance and comedy-she’s one hell of a broad and a true star”- Fierth Magazine
"MargOH! Channing's show is the only one I've ever seen where the performer goes far beyond the normal cabaret 2-drink minimum"- Stu Hamstra-Cabaret Hotline
This time around, MargOH! will be fusing her raucous onstage persona and famously bombastic voice with The Jarad Astin Trio and backed by the vocal styling’s of the MargOH!-tini’s. MargOH! will perform songs made famous by Petula Clark, Shirley Bassey, Eartha Kitt and Salt –n- Pepa to name a few. As part of the celebration she will be joined by her long time 'gay fiance' MAN-ee Champagne and some surprise guests to be announced as she reminisces about her family, lovers and the ups and downs of her career.
MargOH! Channing is the most decorated extra in the history of motion pictures and television having appeared in over 1,800 films and the recipient of 7 Exies. Meryl Streep once told her that “Your ability to do nothing in the background is amazing” and Sally field once mentioned that “MargOH!’s fake banter oozes realism”. MargOH! is also currently shopping around her memoirs "The Life and Times of MargOH!Channing" and is a contributing writer to the nightlife magazine "Fierth".
Her hilarious stage shows have become something of an event on the downtown scene and are always must-sees for her ardent fans. MargOH!'s last show in May, which included a performance by her dear friend Nellie McKay, was received with such excitement that she has been forced to add a date at The Duplex this August.
After speaking by phone with Ms. Channing she says herself; "I'm so thrilled to be back at the Duplex this summer, kids it's going to hot!, well I hope not that hot, the dressing room was so steamy for the last show I sweated down to a size 8. I think it best that I get dressed in an ice box for this show to ensure everything is pointing skyward".
