San Francisco’s only Vaudeville Variety Show!!
A little about the Cast…
One of the best things about being based in San Francisco is the unlimited and amazing amount of TALENT I have to choose from. This allows me to change my show at every performance. Below are just a brief selection of some of the multitude of performers that have graced my show with their presence.
RJ Owens - Emcee
RJ is a self proclaimed "Uber-Mensch"...and Helluva Nice Guy. With that being said, this Magician is not like any other you have seen in a very long time. When asked how he got started doing Magic RJ replies, "...when I found out my sister was gettin $300 bux a trick...I HAD to give it a try". "Magic has made me what I am today...50 Lbs overweight and bald". Now you know what you are in for...
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang
Originating on the Barbary Coast (San Francisco, for those less hip), Kitty Kitty Bang Bang is the brainchild of the Le Bang Sisters who draw upon their collective experience in the performing and circus arts to create the most entertaining spectacles around. They pride themselves in mounting professional, full-scale shows to bring a fresh and funny angle to entertainment.
Wowing everyone everywhere they've prowled, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang delivers on the goods, making some of the most fantastic spectacles around.
The Dimestore Dandy
Rick Quisol a.k.a. The Dimestore Dandy, began singing for tips in the family
restaurant and is a veteran of the Sidewalk Circuit. He is an artist on the
trap set, guitar, kan-zoo and ukulele, and his vocal training, which added
to the beauty of an already naturally gifted voice, was obtained under a
prominent Welsh tenor in Chicago.
The Scenic Sisters
Two of the cutest and sassiest sisters you will ever see. They Tap Dance like it was going out of style...and don’t try to tell them it is! Precocious and Precious…irrepressible and irreverent, so sweet…these two are sure to give you diabetes just from looking at them.
Scot Nery
Scot is 26 years old, an Andy Kauffman-like genius, and producing his own
shows, which break the bounds of what most people consider "normal" magic/
juggling/comedy events. "We're all different. Especially me." Each of Scot's
shows expands on the last, making the next more creative, profound, and
profligate. If you dislike poor quality entertainment, Scot Nery is
definitely not someone you should avoid failing to miss. "I want to make
every show kind of 'Fun With Life'. Life is cool if you don't take it
seriously. When dead, painters are valuable; performers are boring."
Suzanne
Ramsey - Kitten on the Keys
Known as Kitten on The Keys, Suzanne Ramsey is a firkeytoodlin' frisky feline galloping with uber kittitude. As seen on HBO, E! , IFC, and other media outlets, she embodies the spirit and style of those days of decadence gone by. Pianist and chanteuse, expect a racy ragtime romp when this little kitty sharpens her claws on a meow mix medley of mad cap gems of yesteryear with a naughty whimsical edge.
The Lollies
The Lollies, a lovely Burlesque troupe consisting of Jezebel and Margot, bloomed from the magnificent manifold of San Francisco's enchanting nocturne! Showcasing a delightful mélange of dazzling exotic costumes, scandalously sexy choreographies and an adorable peacock personae, this amazing duo of vaudeville vixens has brought an inimitably lovable allure to the ribald spirit of Caburlesque, a word The Lollies have coined to evoke the rich history of both cabaret and burlesque in it's latest incarnation.
Brian
Roberts – Doctor Popular
Having just transplanted himself from Wisconsin finds this 3rd ranked in the World Yo Yo Champion in a quandary. "Who the hell wants to see this"? Well, we bit. Boy, are we glad we did. Doc is amazing, uncontrolled and yet, wildly entertaining. Who'd a thunk that a yo yo could be so much fun?
Alotta Boutte
"A little about Alotta...
Music and performance has been a part of her from the beginning. Classically
trained in piano for 10 years from a very patient nun. This sassy songbird
fell in love with Jazz music after listening to the silky sounds of Ella
Fitzgerald and has been a jazz baby ever since. A good little Catholic girl
she tried to stay on the straight and narrow, but found herself seduced to
the fringe, glitter and glamour of the nightlife. After leaving Cal, she
kept herself busy from time to time in a couple of musicals and singing
around town, but nothing caught her attention like playing a part in the
seedy, saucy, debaucherous Wild Party. Alotta was strutting her stuff at a
Fairy Butch event one evening when Simone de la Getto picked up on her
potential and introduced her to Harlem Shake Burlesque and the fabulous
world of burlesque. And now she's here for your enjoyment, larger than life
and ready to blow you away!"
Valentine
Valentine is a shape-shifting gender chameleon who's well known on the stages of the Bay Area. A frequent contributor on the vaudeville and burlesque circuit, he can often be spotted "wigging out" at the notorious Trannyshack. Recent stage roles include Miss Texas in "Pageant" at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre and a season of dodging wire hangers as Christina Crawford in the cult hit "Christmas with the Crawfords" at Theatre Rhinoceros. He's been a recurring guest on Evening Magazine, appeared on tv's "Nash Bridges" as well as playing opposite Robin Williams in the Warner Bros. feature "Being Human". Valentine also holds the Guiness World Record for the longest recorded tap dance in history and still has the blisters to prove it.
Lol
Levy and Nancy Gold – The Messhuganahs
Lol and Nancy are not only two of the wackiest and zaniest people you’ll ever meet, but this Dyspeptic Duo are also Husband and Wife...which, adds to the hilarity. Some might remember Lol from the long running hit “Shear Madness” and Nancy from her numerous Live performances all across the bay...but we are sure you will most definitely not forget them tonight. They have brought back to life the antics of some of the great Vaudeville Duos for your chuckle-osity. When not onstage, these two are also independent producers of Special Events and Diamond Level Members of Mary Kay Cosmetics.
