Hey guys, this might be old news to some of you, but if you haven't yet seen Leslie Jordan's one-man show, you sit right down and watch it tonight. You will love it, I guaran-damn-tee you will - it's that funny, and honest, and sooo true to life about growing up gay in the South.
What's not funny is, when I first came across the film, my first thought was, what a sweet old man. Then come to find out - he was born the same year I was.
Shit. Oh well, don't miss it guys, it's a hoot and a holler. Here's a brief trailer that gives you only a slight taste of Leslie's over-the-top comic talents:
While I'm on the subject of one-man shows, I can also recommend the late Charles Nelson Reilly's Life of Reilly, which also has a lot of laughs, but deals with some darker true-life material too.
Your Head Trucker hates to admit it, but way back in the mid-seventies, when he was doing all those game shows, I had no idea that Reilly was gay - Paul Lynde, yes, Reilly no. I mean, he smoked a pipe, for God's sake!
