In this irreverent and chaotic evening of music, cabaret performer Frantic McDormand opines on her disdain for heterosexual men, gets sloshed on bourbon and/or gin, and encourages her audience to join her somewhere over the rainbow, where clang clang clang goes the trolley and Happy Days Are Queer Again. 

Created by Frantic McDormand in collaboration with Emily Moler, Emma Weiss, and Kev Berry. 

Frantic McDormand, Kev Berry’s drag persona and protégé, is a genderless creature of excess somewhere between the age of 12 and immortal. Frantic puts on cabaret and pageant performances filled to the brim with carefully curated chaos, showtunes, and bourbon. Frantic was not molested as a child, but still managed to wind up completely fucked up. Frantic's a star, baby. Frantic lives at the intersection of theatre, performance art, and drag, and has performed in various states of existence at gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen and small open-minded theatres across the city.
