He sings. He dances. He sucks! And he's got a magical, hilariously off-beat show planned for you chock full of overly-emoted contrived ballads, clunky piano accompaniment and more ridiculous costumes than Rudy Galindo at the '94 Olympics! Accompanied by comedy composer Scary Manilow (Dennis T. Giacino), “the guy who writes the songs that make the whole world cringe,” lounge lizard Matias rifles through his twisted songbook of original melodies about fetishes, threesomes, stalking, sex change operations, vengeance, fag hags and porn.

Heyyyy, adorable men!! Thanks for the Xmas/New Year's wishes! I have lost track of what Fringes and cities my various friends are heading towards this year, but I sure hope I'm going to see you...I need a dose of naughty naughty Dennis/Fiely energy...hey, you guys need to "Brangelina" your names. Fielis? Dennely? Anyhoo, if for some crazy reason you ever create a hilariously obscene musical review that includes some kind of RELIGIOUS content (you know, "Catho-Lick My Balls!" or "Christiani-TEASE!" or "Church-zilla!" or whatever), there's a new faith-themed theatre festival here in town that's dying for fun out-of-town acts, and I am informally talent scouting for them. SO. Let me know. Should that happen. :-) xoxox as always, Amy
Please share this unique opportunity with your network of stalkers.. uh.. I mean fans and fellow artist..
All my loungy-love,
Sara
