After nearly two decades of silence, Madame is back. As the Diva of Decadence, she sings, swears and tosses around one liners that few comedians are brave enough to mention. The puppet diva was created by Wayland Flowers in the 1960s, and Madame's biting humor was an immediate hit with TV viewers. Soon the team of Wayland Flowers and Madame were in demand, with guest appearances on Rowan & Martin's Laugh In and other TV shows. Next the inseparable duo occupied the much coveted center square on the popular game show Hollywood Squares where they kept audiences laughing but wanting more.

It wasn't long before they traveled overseas and found that club-goers from London to Bangkok enjoyed their double-entendre comedy as much as the fans back home. Flowers passed away and a devastated Madame has been in a self imposed exile for the past several years. "I stayed in my box for what seemed like an eternity to my many fans, only coming out for the occasional dry martini and foot massage...well a girl can't allow herself go to pot!" she said. Madame is back now, ready to face the glare of the spotlight again with her new co-star Rick Skye. Madame will soon be seen on TV in her new show Madame's Dish which will have a little bit of cooking and a little celebrity "dish".

While the show involves a puppet, this event is not for children. Madame's mouth is filled with double entendres and one-liners not fit for young ears, but for adults interested in seeing the rebirth of a nightclub legend, the show is a must-see.
