Men in Dresses

Saturday night our burlesque troupe played "Toadi-gras" at Jake's Toadhouse--the jam band capital of greater Shamrock Plaza. Dutch Loves Bijou is "an experiment in vaudeville" featuring dancing girls, vintage jazz and me, Barry Wright and Leonard Sharing doing "comedy." For the 1st show I showed Bijou a sketch that was a dark version of Burns & Allen. She liked it and decided to just put Barry in a dress for the wife. Then she ashed for a 2nd sketch where we'd switch. Thus was born Renee and Michel and Rene and Michelle. Believe it or not these shows remain my only cross-dressing experience. How does it feel? Comically derivative.







But who knew experimental comic, teamster and 3-day Jeopardy champ Leonard could tap dance?
