KAREL STANDS UP V3.1
Uncensored, Unfiltered, Unhinged.
It was in 2008 that Karel hit the stage live with Karel Stands Up!, an uncensored, unfiltered and unhinged look at the news, pop culture and life. So be prepared for Karel Stands Up v3.1 (year three, first show) as the fastest and funniest two hours allowed by law (in most states) hits the stage. Part stand up, part political satire, part song, Karel Stands Up v3.1 accelerates from the intro and doesn't hit the brakes, at all, ever.

ERICH BERGEN
An evening of music, inappropriate laughs, and awkward poses
Best known for his portrayal of Bob Gaudio in the San Francisco, Los Angeles & Las Vegas casts of the hit musical Jersey Boys & his recent stint on TV's Gossip Girl, Erich Bergen's show promises an evening of great music, big laughs & then some even bigger laughs. Featuring music from both the Great American Songbook & the current top 40 charts, Erich's rule-breaking show is reminiscent of those by such varied performers as Peter Allen, Sammy Davis Jr, with a dash of the dry humor of Tom Lehrer.

LADY BUNNY in "That Ain't No Lady!"
Lady Bunny, the demented from RuPaul's Drag U is back with loads of new material: The plus-sized diva let out a few of her dresses. In addition to her scandalous, bawdy pop parodies, you've gotta see what she does to Ke$ha and Katie Perry to believe it. Bunny turns her biting wit towards the Cher/Christina Aquilera vehicle Burlesque. In addition, there will be a tribute to the many divas -- from Shirley Bassey to Peggy Lee to some obscure yet beloved disco artists -- Bunny discovered at the recently shuttered legendary Castro record shop Medium Rare. And naturally, her trademark glamorous gowns and sky-high coiffures will dazzle. You're never quite sure if Bunny's sky-high herself but a good time is guaranteed for all. All who like their drag queens on the scandalous side, that is!

JONATHAN PORETZ
Night Beat at the RRazz room
Jonathan Poretz, who has starred as Sinatra in the long-running show, "The Rat Pack is Back," is bringing back the carefree spirit & fun filled nightlife that epitomized the casino lounges of the swinging 60s. Backed by his jazz & swing-infused trio, Poretz creates an intimate, after-hours atmosphere for those late-nighters seeking a little nightcap to their evening's entertainment. Just like the Vegas lounge scene made famous by legends such as Louis Prima & Keely Smith, expect the unexpected.
