Tranny Roadshow Merch Now Available

The Tranny Roadshow has some hot new merch for 2010, with a logo designed by… guess who? That’s right, folks, not only can I shake my glittery badonkadonk like there’s no tomorrow, I can also scribble out t-shirt and sticker worthy designs! The design I created was based on the bird puppets Katie Diamond and I made for my Papageno/a self-duet– one has a bow on their head and a mustache, and the other has a bow tie and eyelashes. I used rabbits for the Tranny Roadshow to evoke a traveling magician’s act– PRESTO! IT’S A GIRL! I MEAN A BOY! I MEAN…. A NON-BINARY TRANSRABBIT!

Check out the merchandise offerings here: http://trannyroadshow.com/merchandise.html

And while you’re at it, check out The Tranny Roadshow tour schedule! I’m unable to be on tour with them this week, but if you’re in the Pacific Northwest, you should definitely try to catch one of their shows.

Hey New York! Come see me at Sarah Lawrence this Sunday!

I’m thinking of officially re-naming November “Last-Minute-Gig Month.” Either that or “You-Only-Need-To-Sleep-Once-A-Week Month.” I’ve been working with The Theater Offensive for the past three weeks, publicizing their phenomenal Out on the Edge Queer Theater Festival, and adding gigs left and right. Here’s the newest addition:

I’m joining forces with the fabulous folks of The Tranny Roadshow to perform at Sarah Lawrence this Sunday! I’ll be joining Jamez Terry, Samantha Buchanan, Red Durkin, Ignacio Rivera, BOI Sha, and my darling friend Kit Yan. If you are in the area or are a Sarah Lawrence student, staff or faculty member, please come out!

Free, all ages

The Tranny Roadshow is a multimedia performance art extravaganza. It is composed of an eclectic group of artists, each one self-identified as transgender, and includes poets, rappers, filmmakers, storytellers, breakdancers, rock bands, comedians, actors, folk singers, photographers, zinesters, and more. Stationary art (i.e. photography and sculpture) is displayed, but most of the presentation is the live show, a unique variety show where the expression of gender and the expression of self are inseparable. The show is a fluid entity, changing to suit the artists and the crowd, but always it is full of intelligence, fun and humor.Although the Tranny Roadshow is done entirely by transpeople, it is not exclusively for transpeople. It is a raucous evening of entertainment, open and accessible to people of all backgrounds. Most of us are experienced performers, and while our goals do include challenging people and making them think, our most important goals are to entertain them, make them laugh, and make them dance.
