Kevin Thomas on the Feast of Fools podcastFor people who want to experience the thrill of a Broadway show, they no-longer have to travel to Manhattan, many of the big hits on Broadway are now making their first run in theaters all across the U.S.

On today’s show our lovable on-air concierge Kevin Thomas comes back to report on what’s coming soon to Broadway. Which shows do you have to see? Check out Kevin’s blog entry for moredetails.

Listen as we talk about why gay men love to see famous Hollywood women in musicals, especially when they can’t sing.

Tina Fey once again reprised her flawless imitation of Vice Presidential Dingbat Sarah Palin, but hopes the demand subsides after November 4. She really doesn’t want this woman in office and would rather sacrifice her comic work than put with four years of Palin.

It’s an easy gig for Fey since she doesn’t have to write much material as most of it is just ludicrous quotes from Palin herself.

Obama and McCain meet for their first ever U.S. presidential debate- polls show that swing voters favored Obama overall, even though McCain put out banner ads earlier in the day declaring himself the winner! Do you think he’s a little out of touch?

FAT SUMODiaper Fasion Shows are being held in Japan with hopes to reducing the stigma of diaper use for adults. Will Louis Vitton be putting out a new line of pampers?

Or better yet, will designing diapers become a challenge on Project Runway? We can see the judges proclaiming “You aren’t showing us anything new here” or “Honestly, white is so passe” or maybe host Heidi Klum saying “We ask you to come up with something to make shizer in, and this is what you give us?”

And our hats of to movie star Paul Newman, the actor best known for playing a closet gay football hero opposite Liz Taylor in the film Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and his delicious line of salad dressings. He died over the weekend at the age of 83.

Come everybody and listen to the lullaby of the Feast of Fools.

The intricate set is by Cecil Beaton, and the gowns are a selection of Chanel designs from 1918-1959. Thank you, TimNyTx!
