Kim David Smith: Comme Une Folle – torch songs for tough times because gay
Sun, Oct 5th
|
8:30 PM
Described by Broadway World as the "David Bowie of cabaret," "slyly subversive" by The Wall Street Journal, and labeled the "male Marlene Dietrich" by The New York Times, Australian cabaret artist Kim David Smith returns to Joe's Pub with "Comme Une Folle -- torch songs for tough times because gay." Queer mega-muses collide in a conjuring of torch-singing, bruise-hearted ladies and their loungy lamentations; Marlene, Minnelli, and Minogue meet Eartha, Piaf, Judy, and more, in jazzy, Julie London-esque rearrangements by award-winning musical director Tracy Stark.
"Comme Une Folle," sees Smith joined on stage by Matt Podd (accordion), Skip Ward (bass), and David Silliman (drums), with extra special guest performances by Welsh popstar Bright Light Bright Light, and Tony-nominated legend of stage and screen, Charles Busch (both of whom appear on Smith's fabulous new album, "Mostly Marlene," now streaming on all music platforms!).
