One Night Standup: Drag Queens

Many thanks to the rambunctious Rachael B!

Director: Andrea Meyerson

From the director who brought you the LAUGHING MATTERS series (SLGFF 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008) comes the very first all-drag version of Logo’s hit comedy series “One Night Stand Up.” Filmed live just a month ago in Santa Monica and emceed by the amazing gender-bending Ongina (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”), this flaming show spotlights three fabulous, fierce, and funny performers. For over ten years, drag superstar Jackie Beat has been entertaining audiences live across the country and on Comedy Central, VH-1, and MTV with her razor-sharp comedy and hysterical song parodies. Miss Coco Peru has created and starred in award-winning one-person shows for nearly two decades; she’s been on-screen in TO WONG FOO and TRICK, and on TV’s “Will and Grace,” “Arrested Development,” and her own Logo comedy special. Varla Jean Merman (Mary Sunshine in the Broadway revival of “Chicago”) has filled concert halls and cabarets around the world; you may have also seen her on Bravo’s “Project Runway” and in the hilarious GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS. Three stellar entertainers, one stage, one night only, and one spectacular show. This uncensored world premiere features footage that you won’t see on TV!
