Scottastrophe: Scott Thompson in P-Town Earlier this week in Provincetown, Massachusetts, we witnessed 90 minutes of genius. This show deserves to be an HBO Special Presentation. The HBO people will come to see it and be as astounded by it as I was. They must come. I'm sure of it. It blew me away.
Scott Thompson was the gay scallywag of the well-known Canadian television comedy troupe, The Kids In The Hall. Scottastrophe is his autobiographical one man show in which he darkly illustrates the competitive spirit of tragedy and misery in families. It's wickedly funny. On the precious little Monday night that we saw it, Lea Delaria was in attendance and laughed as heartily as we did. I have a strong feeling that Scottastrophe could do for Scott what Dressed To Kill did for Eddie Izzard: make him a really big star. With this show, there's no doubt he's worthy of that level of success.
If you'll be in P-Town this month, go to Vixen and see it. (Didi and bartender Brad are marvelous!)
