Lady Bunny Brings Trans-Jester to Historic Stonewall Inn

Brassy, sassy drag performer Lady Bunnya world-renowned DJ and comedienne on the LGBT scene, as well as creator of New York’s annual drag-fest Wigstock, has brought her brazen show Trans-Jester back to New York’s historic Stonewall Inn in the West  Village for a second run, now extended through Dec. 28. 

Lady Bunny's Trans-Jester

With legs that won’t quit and a blond bouffant 'do that reaches high into the heavens, Lady Bunny’s raucous new show, co-written with Beryl Mendelbaum, touches upon current events, celebrities, sexuality, taboo sexuality, bodily functions, politics, gender, and more. Be forewarnedif you take umbrage with these subjects, do NOT go see the show! It is in no way shape, or form, politically correct (and that is the show’s intention).

While the set has a frenetic pace, where Lady Bunny sings and dances to current hits by Adele, Bruno Mars, and bits from Rent, tweaked with her own lyrics, there are also some segments where she takes a seat to provide some ribald, thought-provoking social commentary.

During its first run this past spring, Trans-Jester drew a wide mix of personalities, including Susan Sarandon, Rupert Everett, Michael Musto, John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), and many others.

Lady Bunny, who hails from Chattanooga, TN, was once roommates with RuPaul. The two became good friendsLady Bunny later appeared on her show Drag U. She was a staple on the '80s Atlanta club scene as a DJ, and then moved to New York. She has also been on Sex and the City, roasted Pamela Anderson on Comedy Central, and was even the subject of an affectionate birthday ribbing by the legendary Joan Rivers.

Tickets are $19.99 and there is a two drink minimum. Shows run Wed-Sat., 7pm (*please note, no shows Sept. 8 & 9).
