Faye Dunaway Oscars Uncabaret

MEET FAYE DUNAWAY’S “COMEDY COACH”

After insisting on being the one to name the Best Picture winner while paired as a presenter with Warren Beatty at the Oscars, Faye Dunaway ignored his hints and blurted the wrong name. During the melee that followed, Warren actively tried to examine and explain the mistake while Faye made a hasty retreat and refused to talk – leaving him holding the bag. Not very supportive. This reminded our friend Beth Lapides, who runs an alternative comedy show called Uncabaret on Sundays, of a story one of her comics told. His name is Mike McDonald, and he was Faye Dunaway’s “comedy coach” for a short time. You MUST listen to this – click below!

Allee Willis Kitsch Uncabaret

SPEND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH ALLEE WILLIS

#alleewillis #janetcharlton

If you happen to be downtown in LA tonight and you love kitsch, try to get tickets for UnCabaret located at First and Hope. Our friend, the excruciatingly talented and amusing Allee Willis, is doing her FIRST stand-up performance and she’s scared to death! Allee is a successful songwriter, (Earth, Wind and Fire) an artist, and a huge collector of kitsch. She’s done a few extravagant stage shows in the past year and decided to try something less expensive. After the show you can visit her museum of kitsch by clicking here. (Above, Allee at home – you can tell her act has GOT to be fun!)
