Pearlene Dubois » Santa Barbara Theater, January 8 to 31

Pearlene Comes Alive at the Santa Barbara Theater

From a Gay Mecca East, Provincetown MA, comes the wildly demented Drag Artist Pearlene Dubois with her one hour twisted cabaret show. “Twisted” cabaret because she is, or at least her songs are. You’ll swear you’ve heard them before only to realize you’ll never hear them the same way again.

She’s been belting them out for nearly 15 years, not her first appearance in PV either. You may have seen her about ten years ago at the Aria piano lounge which used to be located on Pino Suarez, or perhaps on Sally Jesse Raphael’s the “Sally Show” or Jay Leno (short viniette) or maybe even in Provincetown. You’ll hear parodies of Madona, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Ricky Martin and more as she shares the highs and lows of her being on the planet.

From New York to Key West, Provincetown to LA and again to Puerto Vallarta, she’s been everywhere. You can see her show at the Santa Barbara Theater at 351 Olas Altas, Thursday through Saturday at 10:30 pm in January with an additional 8 pm show on Fridays. Warning; You may laugh so hard you’ll pee a little.
