Last Friday at the Chopin Theatre I had the great pleasure of catching the new act from show business legend Tony Clifton. Some of you may remember when, years ago, Andy Kaufman would embarrassingly drop Clifton’s name to try to further his own career. Well, 20 or so years later Tony is back and bigger than ever, and when was the last time you saw Kaufman doing anything? I guess Tony Clifton proves that it pays to be a nice guy.
Clifton is touring with his Kiss-My-Ass-Katrina-Orchestra and a troupe of very lovely burlesque dancers. Last night was the end of the Chicago run, but you can experience the magic in Burlington, Vermont on September 9th and New York City on September 10th. Proceeds from the show go toward Comic Relief’s work on behalf of artists affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Jim these are fabulous! Love it. Thanks for posting a bunch!!
Sweet. I can still taste the Jack.
Thanks for checking in!
Great pix. We caught the show in Athens, GA, but my pix from the balcony didn’t begin to do justice to the experience. Yours capture the crazy excitement of this unique show!
Nice. Beats the cell phone pix I took at the two shows I went to. Thanks!
Proceeds go to Katrina victims my ass. After this show and the comic Relief show two years ago, less than a million dollars has gone to help anybody!!!! Zmuda’s an asshole!
