She’s back, yak, yak, yak!
First, if you are in any way remotely gay, watch this now. Then everyone watch this and weep a little about what’s been lost:
Just in time for Halloween, beloved, be-snappy, and bejeweled fisting bottom comedienne Madame returns to San Francisco. Seriously, this broad is pretty freakin’ hilarious and puts on one hell of a show. Even though her originator Wayland Flowers passed away some years ago, Madame has a new man on her arm (Rick Skye) and still retains all that campy snap and bite many of us grew up loving on Hollywood Squares, Solid Gold, and Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In. Wait, was Madame even on the Muppet Show? I guess not, since the universe wasn’t canceled out …
Now billed as “The Diva of Decadence,” her new show “Madame with an E!” promises a multimedia spectacle, and a taste of her upcoming (celebrity cooking?) show, Madame’s Dish.
