Toronto Pride at Buddies: Bitch Salad Preview

Another PRIDE is upon us in the city and what better way to kick it off then another wicked BITCH SALAD at Buddies tomorrow evening! From the lips of Andrew Johnston himself please see below for the always entertaining press release:

"Can you believe it's already been three years since the late, great Jackie Burroughs stunned audiences with a reading of auto-Edwardian erotica, two years since Kristen Johnston dazzled us from the comfort of her own bathtub, and one year since Drew "Chloe Sevigny" Droege gave us his undivided atten-shun? Well, we can very cryptically say, "Who knows what this year holds..." ...

BITCH SALAD is back for its fourth-annual all-star charity gala with partial proceeds going to benefit the AIDS Committee of Toronto and Buddies In Bad Times Theatre!!!

Featuring, but certainly not limited to:

GAVIN CRAWFORD, "22 Minutes" later...

CHRISTINA WALKINSHAW, described as a 'young Phyllis Diller' by people with ears...

JULIA HLADKOWICZ, a lady as gorgeous and talented as her last name is difficult to spell and sound out...

EMMA HUNTER, a bosomy barnstormer/boxom barn-burner...

Perennial faves THE CHEETO GIRLS, performing an all-new mini concert of songs from their latest album, "Destiny's Chafe"...

Hosted by ANDREW JOHNSTON, who's translucent skin-tone really makes the wearing of black look summery and not at all funerary...

And some very, Very, VERY special guests... "

Doors at 7, show at 8 PM
$20 with partial proceeds going to ACT & Buddies

BITCH SALAD gives back 2011!

One of our Favourite quaterly events is back and it is looking mighty fierce ya'll! In the words of Andrew Johnston:

July 1, 1867: Two British colonies and a province of the British Empire unite into a single country within the empire called Canada, thus, creating a holiday called Canada Day that actually isn't celebrated until sometime in the 1920's. No rockets red glare, no bombs bursting in air: BORING!

July 1, 2011: Something way, WAY more fucking awesome happens:

BITCH SALAD'S ANNUAL PRIDE GALA IS BACK!!! And this year, we are ECSTATIC to b...e throwing it down on our nation's birth during the high-holy weekend of Toronto's Legendary Pride Celebrations - with partial proceeds going to benefit the AIDS Committee of Toronto and Buddies In Bad Times Theatre!!!

Featuring an absolutely devastating lineup of some of our very favorite guests:

The delectably droll DINI DIMAKOS!

The rollickingly komical REBECCA KOHLER!

The simply mesmerizing SHELLEY MARSHALL!

An all-new mini-concert by song parodista's THE CHEETO GIRLS!

Hosted by the absolutely jocular ANDREW JOHNSTON!

and we are OVER THE MOON to welcome our very special guest:

The deeply delightful DREW DROEGE as CHLOE SEVIGNY!

It's all almost too much.

EAP is obviously most excited to see our favourite bitches Heidi Brander and Zachary Pearse perform as part of the Cheeto Girls. If anyone has not seen the video for Bitch Salad Gives Back Pride 2010 in which the Girls did a parody to Grindr, then you MUST click here! It is explosively good, and hilariously funny.
