The wait is over! Here it is, the taping of our live show from The Stud Bar in San Francisco. The City by the Bay with all the gays was very good to us and boy did we have a blast! We just can’t wait to get back there.
The fresh air, handsome guys, the Californian relaxed atmosphere, the homeless people on steroids- San Francisco has it all.
We are very proud of everyone who participated in the live show and blown away by their performances. Amanda, Ronnie, Sal-E, Ronn Vigh, and Heklina were all were amazing and delivered their bit with great skill. Without their support and participation we wouldn’t be where we are today. We know it wasn’t always easy traveling but we are much richer for the experience. Big thanks to all of you!
Well, it wouldn’t be a Feast of Fools live show with out someone sitting on a cake and this time Curtis took up the clarion call. He brought a lovely cake with the Steamworks bathhouse logo that he piped on himself. It was fun to see this silver fox in his Feast of Fools shirt sit on the cake. We just can’t get enough of that cake sitting!
It was also fun to have some of the listeners like John, Sid and Dolores participate in some of our antics on stage. John and sweet Dolores who came with her twin sister Mary actually ate some dogie treats that are fit for “human pup consumption.” What good sports.
One of the sexiest moments of the evening was when our studly listener Sid (pictured here on the top right) joined in the cake sitting fun. He even did it bareback style. Boy did that make Heklina happy as she did to him what she is famous for. Eek! Eeek indeed.
Amanda’s fabulous act brought several listeners, including Karen Lewis who helped create the very first Feast of Fools live show in 1998, up on stage. They improvised an orgasmic orchestra. Wait till you hear it. It will either make you laugh or turn you on- and if it’s the latter, please get some help
Thanks also to Heklina for hooking us up with The Stud Bar, and finally, to all the people who donated money and bought t shirts to get us to California and back- a round of applause for you! You are the best and we couldn’t do it without you. And lastly to Steven, we did this for you and all your hard work putting the website together for us. Thank you.
Check out this fabulous photo gallery of pics from the event taken by Steven Peterson.

Boston Bill says:
November 7, 2007 at 13:02Hey guys I wish that you guys would sing that opening song more often or record it so that you can use it more often… Just love that Song…… “what’s the cut tell me wha happened, what’s the cut tell me wha happened,what’s the cut tell me wha happened”
YEAH!!!!!
Thanks for giving a us a MS Ronnie moment it has been a while since she was last on the show!!
See you guys soon.

November 7, 2007 at 13:29I think that ‘Amanda’s Symphony’ would make a great Mini Bite!
Maia says:
November 7, 2007 at 15:29I had to work on something in Quark today (and after several years of not using Quark, it was not like riding a bike — it was like doing a handstand on a unicycle while balancing a pyramid of monkeys on my feet and singing the alphabet backwards)… and this podcast kept me from tearing all of my hair out in frustration!
Thank you, FOF, for keeping me sane. Love the live shows. Everyone sounded beautiful!
Chad says:
November 7, 2007 at 16:27When Heklina told the joke about Alzheimer’s/AIDS I was laughing so hard the woman sitting next to me on the metro got up and moved to another seat!
Leslie Ann Levine says:
November 7, 2007 at 16:44Love it, love it, love it. Sal, you look like a queen! In the royal way. The other connotation is a given. I can’t stare at those pictures enough. That plus the video of your stand-up act at the other show combined to make this a glorious day for me. Miss Ronnie, you were hilarious, Amanda, you rule, Ron was hilarious, and Mark and Fausto–what snappy suits! I only wish you guys could do live shows all the time.
Cliff Dix says:
November 7, 2007 at 18:20I love the live shows. I wish I could be at one in person. Today’s show reminded me why I love you guys so much. You are all genuine and caring people. Thank you Fausto, Marc, Ronnie, Sal-E, and Amanda for doing this for us. I have met all of you except Sal-E(Hopefully, next time I am in Chicago), and you are all more sexy and gorgeous in person. All 10’s and all knockouts.
Thank you also to the talented tongued Heklina and well-hung Ronn Vigh for filling out the show. Terrific!
brad_lucas says:
November 7, 2007 at 18:51Hey guys, I just had to say I loved the live show and Ronn Vigh. I do have a question about something he raised in his set regarding gay marriage receptions: what if the couple are “versatile”? Who pays for the reception then?
Any hoo - keep the shows comin!
Marc Felion says:
November 7, 2007 at 19:03i think gay marriages only happen when there is a bottom involved to force the issue.
Dark-Remington says:
November 7, 2007 at 19:50Amanda is hilarious! I only wish I could have been there to see the FOF live. Although I did get a glimpse of Marc and Fausto at Disneyland but wasn’t able to molest you to like I had wanted to. (All in good fun). You guys are great, please keep up the awesome work you do! It makes my day when I can sit back and sip a caffeinated beverage and listen to the FOF with my favorites, Fausto and Marc. Love you guys!
sbaylk says:
November 7, 2007 at 22:28That was such a fun night and it really translated well to audio. I forgot how much I liked that opening song, so catchy and clever. I just love this podcast and was so thrilled to meet the folks who make it and watch them/you perform live. Shout out to you Sal-e. I had a great time talking to you about how cool the Winchester Mystery House is. And talking to Miss Ronnie was such a treat, I don’t get meet too many other 5′10 women. Everyone else was so gracious and cool, Cliff Dix is right, you are all so much more sexy and gorgeous in person.
Jon-paul says:
November 7, 2007 at 23:09Thanks for letting me relive the memories….what a fun night. I loved being part of Symphony O. I keep practicing my part at home….
Fausto Fernós says:
November 7, 2007 at 23:14Leslie, I agree- I could stare at Sal-E’s make-up photos all day long! It’s really a work of living art.
Kenshin Feehily says:
November 8, 2007 at 01:43oh my god Marc I’m sorry to tell you that, but frankly you can’t sing at all, but do not stop coz I love your voice and it turns me on! lol
Yey I finally installed new rigntons on my cellphone and guess what they are…
for e-mails: “Stay Tunnned!” by marc, sal-e and fausto; for message: “Whithout you we’re nothing!” by them again; for calls: the new song you sang on this show and for the video calls: “Play hard, play smart!”!!!
I’m missing Sal-E on the show!
Brain Fork says:
November 8, 2007 at 01:52Awesome … just awesome. The opening song was great, you guys should make it into an mp3.
Also, why aren’t there more episodes with both Ronnie and Amanda?
miata says:
November 8, 2007 at 09:45Thanks for the shoutout, Miss Amanda! But don’t worry about me in Singapore… you can’t swing a cat here without hitting a gay! (and thanks to my SF sister MH1! Missing you - mwah!)
StevenvanL. says:
November 8, 2007 at 09:55Symphony O rocked - hey so if that is considered music - can we consider all the sounds at a Steamworks improvisational Jazz?
Richard says:
November 8, 2007 at 15:08Guys I love your live theme song. Sal E looked fantastic. It was worth every cent of Kryolan. Miss Ronnie you rock my world honey & your weight loss inspires me everytime I hear you mention it. As for calling Amanda The Cracken…. How VERY dare you. Amanda, to quote Miss Ronnie “Everything’s gonna be all right.” I’m looking forward to the video’s of the show.
Silvio Góis says:
November 8, 2007 at 17:13Ohh… this one was sooooo fun!
Amanda is hilarious!! Love her!
Ronn says:
November 8, 2007 at 17:56I had so much fun doing the podcast and hanging out with the whole gang- before,after, and during. And, I met some wonderful and devoted fans of the show- all who were a pleasure to yuk it up with. Alrighty- I just flew in from Austin….. and boy are my arms tired. yuk yuk. naptime!
PupDon says:
November 8, 2007 at 19:05This show was awesome. I wish I could have been there. Especially since that WOOFY Daddy was handing out human dog biscuits. You know if I had been there I would have jumped up on the stage and started begging for one.
Joe P says:
November 8, 2007 at 21:09Thanks for putting the Stud Bar show on podcast! I really enjoyed the live aspect, and listening to the comedy of Hecklina, Ronn Vigh, and everyone else. We don’t have such experiences in this sleepy Midwestern town. Any chance you’d ever come to Cincinnati for a live podcast? You guys don’t know what you are missing here. Okay, I exagerate just a bit. The cake sitting is hilarious, and too bad that Steven Peterson didn’t sit on a cake again! What a cutie!
Brain Fork says:
November 9, 2007 at 00:30I was delighted to learn that one of the people I idolize (Fausto) is in the same profession that I hope to be in. YaY! for graphic design!
Sid says:
November 9, 2007 at 10:38Listening to the show reminded me of how awesome it was to actually be there. When you guys are all huge superstars I will be able to say I met you back in the beginning… Well the show was awesome. The opening song translated well to the podcast and I loved when Fausto fell on stage. But in particular Sal-E was just hilarious. I hope you don’t think the muppet comment was an insult b/c that’s exactly how you should’ve looked. Your “why not/fuck it” attitude is so spot on. Thanks for the audio pleasure! - Sid
Mike D-troit says:
November 9, 2007 at 11:13Oh My god! what fun. Heklina is a hoot. Next time I am in California I will make Trannyshack a top Priority.
Hek’s joke about Alzehimers and HIV bursted out at work. He’s a lot like drew Carey-laughs at his on jokes, I really appreciate that. He’s entertaining himself just as much as he is entertaining the audience.
Do I need a “shirt off pick” to win a goodie box?
Mike D-troit says:
November 9, 2007 at 11:19btw any way to get in touch with Bill Hadad? Would love to drop him a line.
Curtis says:
November 9, 2007 at 18:23Heklina mentioned her hectic weekend photoshoot with the Hot House Boys - here’s some of the results
Amanda Steinstein says:
November 10, 2007 at 11:10Hey Joe P…you know the deal! Find us a venue in Cincinnati, help us raise money for airfare and places to stay, and we’ll be there faster than you can say “On Broadway.”
Kisses,
-AS
PS: I’m available June 14th.
PPS: I don’t mind being called a Kraaken…I would love to live underwater and swallow pirates. And I could hold up my tentacles and say “SUCKAHS!!!”
Joe P says:
November 10, 2007 at 11:55Fabulous Amanda! That would be great. I would just have to drum up support from my fellow Cincinnatian Feast of Foolers (where are they?). No need for a plane ticket, though. Cincinnati is about 5 hours away by car, or if you are lucky can get a $1 ticket fare on the Megabus.
Michael Carrino says:
November 12, 2007 at 19:48“What’s the cut?” (from Jesus Christ Super Star) — I’m only 8 minutes into this podcast and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I WISH I’D BEEN THERE TO SEE THIS! You never cease to amaze me.
OK — I’m going back to listen to the rest of the show.
Michael Carrino says:
November 13, 2007 at 19:58Finished listening to the rest of the show. You all do a great live show. You should take this show on the road more often.
bowdownza says:
November 22, 2007 at 16:08wow I am just getting around to listening to this show while doing my holiday baking…
Fausto you have such a nice voice
marc…you have such nice hair and arms.
Love ya both…
Amanda Steinstein says:
November 24, 2007 at 00:36Bowdownza…you should see the hair ON his arms! HOTT!
Mel and Shaun in Oz says:
November 24, 2007 at 21:20Hey guys,
You guys are even better live, we bet.
We were very jealous that we weren’t able to be there but Australia is so far away from San Francisco. If we had the funds, we’d fly you all down here for a show Down Under. Might have to drug Miss Ronnie first though!!!!
We love all your presentations. They were quite fabulous indeed.
Thanks for sharing this show with the rest of the world.
Kisses from Brisbane
