Billy<\/strong>\u2019s summer of love continues chugging along.  By the time you read this, I\u2019ll be in Fort Lauderdale burning my buns \u2013 that\u2019ll teach me to not take the option at a Clothing Optional <\/em>resort.  Getting this far into summer without need of any pills, ointments or other pharmaceutical aids is not only a credit to my constitution, but also to my endurance.  I proved that last week in Provincetown\u2026and I managed to catch a few more shows as well!<\/p>\n

In residence at the Post Office Caf\u00e9 and Cabaret <\/em>is the legendary Randy Roberts<\/strong>, celebrating his 25th<\/sup> anniversary in Ptown.  Yes, both Cher<\/strong> and Bette <\/strong>are back.  Even better \u2013 Randy is back, and in peak form.  The show is called Aging Dis-Gracefully<\/em><\/strong>, but there is nothing disgraceful about it.  It\u2019s one of his best, with scads of new material and just a smattering of some old favorites.  Things kick off with some original songs which landed triumphantly, including a ditty about Governor Ron DeSantis <\/strong>which is as sharp as Randy\u2019s cheekbones.  While it doesn\u2019t matter, Randy looks even better out of drag \u2013 and I hear he\u2019s single, for you tourists looking for a roll in the hay.  He can be found online at RandyRoberts.net<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.  For more info on all of the Post Office <\/em>shows, go to PostOfficeCafe.net<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also caught John Hill<\/strong>\u2019s act at the Post Office<\/em>.  Those of you familiar with Andy Cohen <\/strong>will know John from\u2026well, from Andy\u2019s past, and also his radio show.  I, of course, go back even further with John.  From the original company of Hairspray<\/em><\/strong>, the Broadway <\/em>production of The Boy from Oz<\/em><\/strong> and the off-Broadway <\/em>company of Bare<\/em><\/strong>, John Hill has got chops.  While he\u2019ll claim not to be a triple threat, he\u2019s a hoofer from way back.  You could say he\u2019s a hoofer with a heart of gold.  His solo show featured some original songs and some amusing anecdotes.  He\u2019s as likeable as he is lickable, so check him out should he come to a venue near you.  Oh, did we mention we have a naughty photo of Hill showing his meat?  Or is it one of his potatoes?  At BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then I sauntered over to the Provincetown Art House <\/em>to see The New Belters<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 otherwise known as Nicolas King <\/strong>and Seth Sikes<\/strong>.  In the past 9 months since they started this venture, their show has grown exponentially.  The harmonies are tighter and there is a natural ease to their partnership.  Of course, the vocals are impeccable \u2013 Nicolas being more a soulful crooner, while Seth is more a plaintive balladeer.  The luxury of having Billy Stritch <\/strong>not only on the keyboard but contributing a third harmony vocal line was heavenly.  They did a brief but striking recreation of Liza<\/strong>\u2019s memorable performance of Sondheim<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cBack in Business\u201d which you can see on BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong>.  Their two shows at the Ptown Art House <\/em>had the capacity audiences cheering effusively.  You can find info on each of their individual websites.  Of course, the Ptown Art House <\/em>lineup is on PtownArtHouse.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

My final official performance of the week was seeing the incomparable Jackie Beat<\/strong>!  The dynamic diva is on tour celebrating her 60th<\/sup> birthday with a show entitled Sexty<\/em><\/strong>.  I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever heard her in better voice.  Truly, she seemed to have lungs of steel \u2013 but enough about her sex life!  Her three-night stint at Ptown\u2019s Red Room <\/em>was sold out well in advance, and the capacity crowd ate her up with a spoon \u2013 again, enough about her sex life!  As to the new material \u2013 well, how can you not love a song that rhymes \u201cfamous\u201d with \u201canus\u201d?  I particularly enjoyed \u201cI\u2019m Not a Groomer\u201d and \u201cCareless Fister\u201d.  Oh, that Jackie is a subtle minx.  She\u2019s in the midst of a tour, and you can see her full schedule at MissJackieBeat.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.  The venue\u2019s schedule is at RedRoom.club<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I would be remiss not to mention that the Gifford House <\/em>in Provincetown is under new ownership, and they reopened the downstairs nightclub, Purgatory<\/em>.  This means the weekly underwear parties are back on Saturday night.  If there\u2019s a hot guy in town, he\u2019s there \u2013 and wearing next to nothing.  Why, over July 4th<\/sup>, I saw porn stud Austin Wolf <\/strong>with someone roughly half his size.  I had a fleeting thought that perhaps Purgatory <\/em>brought back their popular Dwarf-Tossing Nights <\/em>\u2013 but I doubt that would fly (so to speak) in these woke days.  Austin\u2019s friend  turned out to be someone named Damien who has an OnlyFans <\/em>page\u2026which you must be thistall to check out.  Although I suspect he\u2019ll ride anyone of any size!  For all Purgatory events, check out GiffordsProvincetown.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
