Kegel Kater News + Events

HOLA! I'm back from an amazing 2-week visit in Guatemala! I'm feeling refreshed and grateful for all my blessings and my mind is e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d. OK folks, I have some ideas that I'd been cooking up in my brain for months now and I'm ready to get started! FIRST is HALLOWEEN! I am currently booking Halloween make-up gigs! Anyone interested in a private make-up session please contact me. I am also looking to connect with anyone throwing an (adult) Halloween party with an entertainment budget. I do glam face and body painting--I'd also be painting some gore on your guests and I even do edible face-painting. I mix and mingle with my makeup on a tray like a dragged-out cigarette girl so guests don't have to come to me, I go to them. So please pass my info on to any interested parties if you know any! SECOND, I'm interested in your eyebrow stories. Questions, comments, did you ever shave them off? What is your technique for hiding the brows? Please send anyt...

So many things to report I don't know where to begin! "Hot Greeks"ended a couple weeks ago. It was a great success. On average, the theater was 100% sold out (a couple nights we had an empty seat and a couple night we had to set up a couple extra chairs). I enjoyed performing as a football player. Drag king in nothing more than a jock strap and shoulder pads was definitely a challenge! I'm happy to announce that Pretty Pretty (Look at You!) in August will be run by make-up guru and drag superstar Phatima! What an honor. I am focusing now on bookings for October. If anyone has any leads please pass them on to me. I have a walk around tray where I can paint glam or gore on your guests for their party!

For anyone who hasn't heard, "Pearls Over Shanhai" has just been extended until September 20th (duh, that's why I'm in it :P). I wanted to begin compiling some of the great reviews I've been seeing. These are mostly from friends, but more reviews can be found on Goldstar , where half-price tickets are occasionally offered (you can sign up to receive notices when this happens), and also on Brown Paper Tickets (the usual place to get tickets). **** Rated 3.9 (out of 4) stars by those who have seen the show! "Pearls Over Shanghai has been the most successful Hypnodrome/Thrillpeddlers production to date. It is perhaps the best show we have ever seen! We highly recommend you support local San Francisco theater and go experience this fantastically costumed epic musical. Chock full of classic sing ... Read More ... Read More-...

Life has been happening too quickly for me to keep up with! But here are some events that I'm involved with RIGHT NOW! "PEARLS OVER SHANGHAI" First, I have to talk about the revival of the Cockettes production (from the late 60's) of "Pearls Over Shanghai." This is my first role singing...Well, my first "role" actually, in a full-length play and the people are great. I'm a big fan of the Cockettes and I am so excited. This is a wonderfully entertaining musical--it's really scary, too! Last night was my debut and it went swimmingly. This show is every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through the end of September. Tickets can be purchased here . MIDNIGHT MASS with PEACHES CHRIST Last weekend was a blast with Linda Blair and all the pozessed rollerboogiers. A video of the preshow staring Peaches Christ, L. Ron Hubby, Pristine Condition, Lady Bear, Cousin Wonderlette, Valentine, and myself can be seen right over here . Song written by Ric R...

LOVE 101: It broke my heart when I had to turn down the offer to perform at the first Love 101 a couple of months ago SO, though I don't REALLY have time to put together a number (cause I'm graduating in 2 weeks!!), I can't say no to part II. Come out and support the kids!!! XOXO Kegel Bellow is the press release: Precious Moments & Ivy Drip couldn't wait to bring you another fantastic round of SF's most generous exhibitionist lipsynchers...for the children!

Seriously people...this is a guaranteed good time. And what could be a better way to entertain oneself, than with a fantastic show benefiting the exemplary work done at the progressive public school, named for the Mayor of Castro Street, Harvey Milk ;) The line-up is outstanding.
