"the true meaning of razzmatazz... highly absorbent and hilarious" -- Next Magazine
Beginning June 15th, PJ Mehaffey (Bravo’s "The It Factor", The Donkey Show) presents Wipe & Go! at Fez. This high-energy hybrid of story and song follows the roundabout rise to sub-lebrity of paper-pushing pop sensation Teen Tawny. Wipe & Go! is written by and stars Mehaffey and features Alex Bragg as Blade.
From his humble beginnings in South Carolina to how he came to endorse his own line of paper products, triple-threat Teen Tawny has a heartfelt and hilarious tale to tell in Wipe & Go! Aided by his lone back-up dancer Blade, Tawny shares the story of his rise to semi-super stardom as he follows his dream of becoming an All-American pop idol, all the while pushing products from toilet paper to moist towelettes baring his likeness. With covers of ‘80s hits like "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Dress You Up", Wipe & Go! is an effervescent concert extravaganza that hysterically and poignantly spreads the message (and slogan) of Tawny: "When life gets messy, just wipe and go!"
PJ Mehaffey appeared on television as part of the New York City cast of Bravo Television’s "The It Factor." He has also has performed Off-Broadway in The Donkey Show, Birdy's Bachelorette Party, Penny Arcade's New York Values at P.S. 122, and Mindlynes with the Brooklyn Arts Exchange.

Wipe & Go! has been workshopped at Cornelia Street Café, the 2003 US Comedy Arts Festival at Madison Square Garden's Comedy Garden, and The M Bar IN Hollywood, CA.
