Aaron Davis Hall, Convent Ave @ 135th St., Harlem, NYC $20.


Anti-Diva Anarchist Drag Comedian, Jennifuh Leathuh is part of the Church of the Living Womb Revival,
a carnival of colorful urban artists pushing the boundaries of theater, spoken word, dance and music; presided over by Sistah Pastor Preacha' Prayer and Sistah Pastor Merlina (aka Liza Jessie Peterson and Tish Benson).—A Heavy Hitaz Production


Attention all subversives (That's you reading this), I know that you have been waiting for the "right time" to see Jennifuh Leathuh, and that time has arrived. I will be performing in the Church of the Living Womb Revival segment "The House of Oth'ah" on Saturday, November first at the very early hour of six o'clock p.m. Yes! This is the geriatric show that my large octogenarian fan base has been requesting for years.I know all of my fans very well: You are an evolved, social justice- and thrill-seeking individual. Naturally, you want to stop the galloping infection of George Bush’s mad cowboy disease, but your unemployment insurance, electricity, and spouse have all run out on you, rendering your psyche momentarily devastated.


Skip suicide and race up to Harlem, where you can join anti-diva anarchist drag comedian, Jennifuh Leathuh, as she reviews contemporary radical self-help literature guaranteed to restore faith in utopian ideals, true love, and high heels. I will not be singing, dancing, or lipsynching, but rest assured, I will serve as much entertainment as you have come to expect from this gal, even if my show description sounds as though it only describes me.:> Expect a classic Jennifuh Leathuh outfit, usual wild hair, hilarity, drama, and trauma.
