Posted: 1/22/15 at 10:20amHe just showed up on the British sitcom "Benidorm" playing Buck A. Roo. He fits right in with the quirky story lines they have.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 1/22/15 at 12:38pmThe title of the post is just rhetorical. I'm just saying that he showed up on one of my favorite sitcoms in the UK.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 9:14pmI love him. Nicest guy and very adorable. I loved his one man show. He performs in PTown every summer. He will be doing more. I am sure he gets money for all his spots in " Will and Grace" he is in a ton of episodes.

I saw his stand up show in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last week. He was hilarious, if not a bit depressing.
His best joke of the night:
"I'm a big time TV star and here I am slummin' it with you in Puerto Rico. Can you believe that? Wait. Where the hell are we?"
I think it was an honest mistake but either way, it was hilarious.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 11:53pmHe was such a nice guy. I ran into him when we brought my grandmother to NYC some special occasion (her birthday? mother's day? something), and he was at the next table alone. So, I said hi to him briefly, as I think we tried to set up an interview once but something got in the way, and he came by our able on the way out and talked with everyone, and talked up my grandmother who knew him from Will & Grace, etc., seemed like a classy guy.

Leslie Jordan always seems to be working. Popping up here, there, and everywhere.
And, Taz, I liked Lucky Guy. *shrugs*

"Leslie Jordan always seems to be working. Popping up here, there, and everywhere."
But I think "Good for him for getting work on a popular sitcom in the UK".
And I saw Amy Sedaris on a British tv commercial.

I'm with you Eris. Lucky Guy was HYSTERICAL. A true camp classic if there ever was one. I saw it three times and would happily jump in a time machine to see it again.
There was a running gag were Jordan would pop out of tiny set pieces he was hiding in to eavesdrop on conversations.
The score was tuneful and the lyrics ranged for distasteful to cringeworthy- but always hilarious. Varla Jean Merman was a hoot and a half singing I've Got the Blue Jean Blues in denim drag. Kyle Dean Massey never sounded better and had a really show stopper of an act one finale. The best were the four hunky and often shirtless chorus boys called the buckaroos who played multiple roles throughout. It's a crime and a shame an official recording was never released.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 1/28/15 at 11:36pmI need towatch Benidorm. I know creator Derren Litten co-wrote The Catherine Tate Show, which I loved, and Russell T Davies just named him as one of his three fave TV writers.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:09amI remember a cast recording being announced and then BOOM - the show was gone and no album. I was very sad because I definitely would have bought it.

"I need towatch Benidorm."
This season sort of sucks. Siobahn Finneran and Steve Pemberton have been missing from several of the episodes. I think it's because Pemberton was so involved in getting Mapp & Lucia to the screen. But the show loses its traction without their family, specifically because Sheila Reid's character is one of the funniest old ladies ever put on film.
Still, Litten has the quirky-absurd writing gift and some of the other characters are still very solid. Janine Duvitski's swinger is hilarious. I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. (So sad Kenny Ireland passed away because they were the perfect match). The transvestite Les, his quirky son Liam, Mateo the ladies man bartender, and Joyce the harried manageress are all great.
It's too bad that Litten couldn't get Leslie Jordan a regular spot as one of the guests in the hotel. Jordan would fit into the storyline much better than the Dyke family which Litten doesn't seem to know what to do with.
