The Flotilla DeBarge Minstrel Show
One More Time... Twice!
Two Performances! March 22 and April 6 at Fez

"Not many performers have the audacity, chutzpah, and soulfulness of downtown legend Flotilla DeBarge... Her patter is wicked, outrageous, pornographic and, yes, unforgettable." -- Show Business

"DeBarge is one of the fastest and funniest on high heels when working an audience, and her diverse, cutting-edge array of characters--from divas to gypsies, tramps, and thieves (with the threads or dreads to match)--deserves a cable special" -- Back Stage

"a strange hybrid of Pearl Bailey and Eric Bogosian" -- New York Magazine

"over-the-top" -- The New York Times

Flotilla DeBarge--one of the nameless, faceless women Halle Berry can't get enough of--returns to Fez with a "final" encore of her smash solo show, The Flotilla DeBarge Minstrel Show: One More Time... Twice!. Beginning March 22nd, this cotton pickin' drag supa-star, self-described as a cross between Angela Bassett and LaWanda Page, delivers an extravaganza of outrageous song, comedy and fried chicken (patrons in the front rows are guaranteed a finger-lickin' treat!).

With The Flotilla DeBarge Minstrel Show: One More Time... Twice!, Flotilla DeBarge proves she's as wacko as Jacko and as whack as Whitney's crack. This lady not only sings the blues, she dances to her "signiggature" tunes, delivers off-colored stand-up, and joyfully complains and entertains. Whether she's channeling Diana Ross from Mahogany, Oprah Winfrey from The Color Purple or one of the many smack-addicted transvestites she's played on film and TV, this Nubian Empress proves she is the reigning queen of Fez.

Beyond her infamous hosting gigs at Barracuda and Bar d’O, Flotilla DeBarge has appeared on stage in the T.W.E.E.D. productions of Lypsinka is Harriet Craig, Imitation of Imitation of Life, The Other Play About the Baby, and the Town Hall staged readings of Caged and Screen Door. She has appeared on the television show "Sex and the City," "Law and Order," and "Third Watch." Her film roles include To Wong Foo..., Flawless, Keeping the Faith, Paul Rudnick’s up-coming Marci X starring Lisa Kudrow, and Mike Nichols upcoming HBO film Angels in America. She was last seen at Fez in The Flotilla DeBarge Chanukah-Kwanzaa-Christmas Spectacular.
