tonight i went to see my friend bridget everett’s show, ‘at least it’s pink’, at ars nova.
i was hoping that it would be good, but it’s actually amazing.
(an aside: you might know bridget from the ‘new york new york’ video with vids(i think that bridget is ‘tammy’)).
it’s essentially a one-woman show(although kenny mehlmann, of ‘kiki & herb’, does figure quite prominently, albeit in his quiet, back-to-the-audience way).
the show made me particularly happy, cos 6 months ago bridget and i were talking about her fears that she would be stuck waitressing forever. now i hope and believe that she’ll never have to serve overcooked steaks to businessmen and their hookers again.
i guess i need to offer a caveat…the show is not for the faint(feint?) of heart. if you’re a committed evangelical from oklahoma you might be offended by about 98% of the show.
but it’s an amazing show. i know i’m repeating myself, but it’s an amazing show.
