When we first met and interviewed CHEF ROSSI 5 years ago in PTown it was love at 1st sight (for me anyway)). She had just turned her colorful Jewish past into a best selling memoir and hit play that was running at WELLFLEET HARBOR ACTORS THEATER. Quick witted, wickedly funny she talked to QUEERGURU about The Raging Skillet and how as a feminist lesbian punk she just loves to stir it all up
Now she is back with her second memoir THE PUNK ROCK QUEEN OF THE JEWS which she is happy to share is much more R-rated . The woman is unstoppable : chef owner of The Raging Skillet a NY anti-catering company celebrating its 36th year : a writer, author, radio host, screenplay writer and a self confessed loudmouth . Oh yes we forget she is also a queer feminist Hungarian Jewish punk. The book to be published in April is impossible to put down … but meanwhile check out why she had me laughing so much just talking about it
Its a long journey from the steps of St Peter’s of the Sister’s of the Third Removed, in the heart of London’s West End, but that is where Sister Mary‘s journey started many (many!) years ago It is rumored that she is the secret love child of West End musical theatre star Elaine Paige and from her she developed her love of showtunes, telling stories and making homemade flapjacks.
A few years ago she put a ‘iittle entertainment together’ which she took to Edinburgh’s legendary Fringe Festival where she picked up rave reviews and Adam Weinstock. He made Sister an offer she couldn’t refuse, and he has brought her to perform in his home town (and ours too) Provincetown. (And who said Catholics and Jews cannot mix?)
Thus when she arrived here this weekend to start her month’s run at the REDROOM , and so she and her long-suffering side kick Brother Matthew, sat down with Queerguru outside the UU church to spread the news (and a wee bit of gossip too).
She assured us personally that the show was singing and her unique style of comedy. No pulpit. No psalms. No prayers. She’s not that kind of nun. Sister Mary is here to spread love and musical joy and that’s exactly what she is going to do
Over the past 8 years ADAMS NEST has become THE destination store for the members of the LGBTQ+ community who want to shake things up, create some social change and look f*&kin’ fabulous while doing it.
Owner ADAM SINGER has used his passion and activism to create a politically engaged, socially conscious, spiritually connected, naughty, queer & visible brand based out of Provincetown.
Just step inside his wee store packed to the rafters and its impossible not to swept up in both Adam’s sheer style and enthusiasm that helps you look good whilst also help investing back in our community as when you buy certain products from the site, he gives 10% of the proceeds of that item to the LGBTQ charity listed with it.
Queerguru sat down with him to discover more about ADAMS NEST and look at some of his new must-have queer products.
PS You don’t have to go to PTOWN to actually shop (although why not) as ADAMS NEST has a very proficient Mail Order Service
You don’t have be Jewish to relate to actor/writer Jeffrey Solomon‘s funny and extremely affectionate biographical play MOTHER/SON, but if you are a gay man with your own memories of ‘coming out’ to your Mother, you are going to LOVE it.
Solomon wrote it just after his own mother passed almost 25 years and it became a critical hit Off Broadway, Chicago, London’s Off West End and Provincetown . Queerguru caught up with him on the eve of bringing this one-man play back to PTown for a Benefit Night as fundraiser for Gay Sons and Mothers and the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod.

OUTSTANDING: A COMEDY REVOLUTION is probably the most joyous celebration of the queer community we will see on our screens this Pride Month. Directed by filmmaker/comedian Page Hurwitz, the producing partner of queer comic Wanda Sykes, this Netflix documentary very incisively explores the contributions that stand up comics have made to the growth and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community over the years.
With the help of an unprecedented array of some extraordinary talented queer comedians, Hurwitz allows her cast to share their stories about how their personal and professional ‘coming outs’ shaped their work. Which in turn shaped how our community evolved.
QUEERGURU has already talked with Joel Kim Booster one of the many queer comics in the film and now we caught up with Page when the film was being screened at Provincetown Film Festival The film is due to be released in Netflix on June 18th You can read Queerguru’s full review HERE ..
