Comics' Corner - June
This month, I am lucky to be joined By Aaron Signal aka Mon Cherie to talk about the recent rejuvenation of the monthly Fab U Lash series of drag-inspired comedy and live singing variety performances at the Cavanagh Hotel.
Firstly, congratulations on your recent performance in April Fab U Lash. You were cheeky, funny and a little bit biting – and your stand-up wasn’t bad either.
As they say – witty not pretty. A dangerous combination...
You will be sharing hosting duties with the infamous Sherri Lee Volua. Will Ms Volua behave and is she a considerate ‘co-host’?
She is the Bert to my Ernie. We are the two grumpy Muppets in the balcony. We host each other, so one of us has time to fan her sweat and breathe.
That Fab U Lash will grow organically – at the moment I like having Darwin comedians join us. In a year it might evolve again. It will always have live, singing Queens though, blended with comedy and old school drag. It's a niche no one else is exploring, so we will.
Which comic drag artists do you admire most?
Bianca del Rio. Maggie Scott. I love cutting but clever wit. Something that's fast in delivery but sits for a second to sink in.
Favourite comedy writer
Pam Eyers – poetry genius.
Life’s greatest pleasure
