Toby
Blackwell's "BITTER" Extended at the Duplex
Toby
Blackwell is still "BITTER" at THE DUPLEX (61 Christopher Street,
NYC - 212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/).
This extended run of his successful show performs on Saturdays, January
24th and 31st at 7:00 pm and Saturday, February 7th at 9:00 pm. D.
Jay Bradley music directs and Maria Gentile directs this multi-media
presentation. There will be a $10 music charge and a 2-drink minimum.
Mr. Blackewll
has been a gay Naval officer, a theme park singer, a wannabe Survivor
contestant, a lover of fallen Divas and through it all, he has remained
... bitter. Three more performances means three more chances to laugh
and cry along with Toby as he explains what exactly makes him bitter.
It's three more chances to see his Survivor audition tape and learn
how visiting his crazy Filipino mother has prepared him for the show;
three more chances to hear the musings of Kameela, the pregnant, disgruntled
Disney employee; and, of course, three more chances to see the show-stopping
"parade of Divas," beginning with a discussion of and video excerpts
from Ms. Whitney Houston's infamous Primetime interview.
More than
just a comedian, Toby also imparts some serious messages to his audience,
addressing issues such as homophobia and the military's "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" policy, under which he served. Toby has also gained a
following for his vocal abilities. Blending stand-up comedy with the
elements of more traditional "cabaret", combining Pop, folk, and R&B
music with songs from contemporary musical theatre, Toby Blackwell
proves why it's good to be "Bitter."
