Sequin-clad satirical weirdos Bourgeois & Maurice are alien siblings from another planet but they also are quintessential eccentric Brits. And an extremely talented pair too. The award-winning duo are stars in London’s Alternative East End and in touring the globe their outrageous and idiosyncratic act have collected them international fans who love their discerning perfomance art.
In 2020 they enjoyed critical success with their sixth new musical Insane Animals, commissioned and produced by HOME Manchester. The hit show played to packed crowds for 3 weeks until the wretched Covid 19 Lockdown brought it all to an abrupt end, Now almost a year later they are about an Original Cast Album as a preview to re-opening the Show when the World gets back on its axis.
Queerguru talked with Bourgeois & Maurice about this and caught up with all their other news.
We first met Mrs. Kasha Davis a larger than life Drag Queen when she was appearing at one of out favorite cabaret venues : The Pilgrim House in PTown. We actually interviewed her a couple of times there, but now we are meeting ……. through the power of the internet ……. to talk about Workhorse Queen.
Thisis a warts-and-all brand new documentary from filmmaker Angela Washko about the ups and down of Mrs Davis’s journey seeking brighter lights and bigger stages. What ever happens along the way never seems to dent her irrepressible good spirits even though she may have to reluctantly re-think her path forward.
Mrs Kasha Davis is part ‘old school drag’ who rely on their life’s experiences to hone their acts in front of a live audience over years. These constitute a genre known as drag royalty that include the likes of Lady Bunny,Lypsinka,Coco Peru,Varla Jean Merman,Miss Richfield 1981 and Dina Martina and that Mrs Davis aspires to be a part off
Prior to the film’s World Premiere at Slamdance Film Festival both star and director talked with Queerguru
David Färdmar’s debut feature film ARE WE LOST FOREVER is one of the best queer romances of 2020. Already available on DVD/VOD in the US from TLA Releasing & Dekkoo.com, Queerguru caught up with this Swedish writer/director on the eve of Peccadillo Pictures now streaming it in UK & Ireland. We wanted to know in particular if this intimate heartbreaking story was autobiographical ……
Straight after the Sundance Film Festival last year filmmaker Kareem Tabsch, the co-director of the award winning documentary Mucho Mucho Amor called the Queerguru Office. He was very insistent that we get hold of a short queer animated film that had been showing at the same screenings as his film.
We did exactly and he was so spot on as we LOVED The Shawl so much that we tried to interview the filmmaker at that time. For some reason that never happened but now were more determined as the film is about to be screened at Metrograph in NY for a week. This will increase their chances of actually being nominated for an Oscar …… yes, it is that good.
So we tracked down Dusty Childers & Shane O’Neill a very extraordinary queer couple who have such a zest for life and a passion for Stevie Nicks which made for this perfect award winning short animated film Queerguru chatted with them and feasted our eyes on the fabulous duo who are the stars of this wee gem of a film directed by Sara Keiner
The irrepressible multi talented Deven Green and her charming Brit musician Ned Douglas partner and beau, sat down with Queerguru to talk about VERSUS their absurdist comic new game show that lis now launching on Revry TV. We’ve always totally adored Devin (who has kept Ned hidden from us for years) and it was as always a sheer joy to spend some time with ….as you will see below and also by watching VERSUS too
