Following on the heels of her latest fundraiser, Witti Repartee's 4th Annual 39th Birthday: Life, The Universe and Everything, New York City's hardest working philanthropist drag queen announces Witti Repartee's Broads, Bawds and Bachelorettes 3, a benefit at the legendary Metropolitan Room on January 9, 2016.
"What started as my actual bachelorette party in 2014 was such a hit the second time around, we're coming back for thirds!" said Repartee when asked if New York needs more Broads and Bawds. "With such hubbub about desnudas in Times Square over the summer, New York City needs more old fashioned sass, and we're giving it to them!"
Co-hosted by Ms. Ermine Muff, the socialite and reformed debutante (best known as the spouse of the late billionaire furrier, Mr. Eaton Muff, whose famous ad campaign, "Pass the cold Connecticut winters by slipping into an Eaton Muff... Eaton Muff Furriers of Bridgeport," is known globally), this year's edition of Witti Repartee's Broads, Bawds and Bachelorettes 3 will feature performances by several old favorites, as well as a few new additions to Repartee's growing stable of girls and boys gone wild.
The 2016 Edition will feature performances by Broadway World Award Nominee Dorothy Bishop ("The Dozen Divas Show"); legendary Richmond, VA drag star and #DudeInADress Natasha Carrington; cabaret favorite La Diva; stunning newcomerEllia J. Garlands; Robin Kradles ("The Diva Selections" at Don't Tell Mama); co-creator and host of "Wigsticks," Steady Mess; NYC's modern-day Auntie Mame and Miss Symphony Space 2015 Ruby Powers; Award winning singing actor from Broadway's The Threepenny Opera and the upcoming The UnCivil War Brian Charles Rooney ("Bedbugs! The Musical); the Queen of the Bears, singer/songwriter Candy Samples; burlesque superstar, Brooklyn's Shape Shifting Chanteuse Louvel; and other surprise guests!
Witti Repartee's Broads, Bawds and Bachelorettes 3 is produced under the aegis of Kaleidoscope Collaborations, which connects passionate artists and volunteers with progressive causes for the purpose of using their talents to raise awareness, build relationships and provide resources for non-profit organizations working to improve the lives of our neighbors and communities. All proceeds will benefit Iris House, a 23 year old organization founded to meet the needs of women and families impacted by HIV/AIDS in Harlem and the South Bronx.
A gorgeous art deco pendant necklace in black, crystal and lapis created and donated by MOANS Couture jewelry will be the focus of a progressive auction.
"Look," remarked Witti Repartee, "It's the dead of winter. The holidays are over. Everything is grey...except the hot, funny and celebratory parade of spectacles that we've got for you at the Metropolitan Room!"
Tickets for Witti Repartee's Broads, Bawds and Bachelorettes 3 are $25 and there is a two drink minimum at the Metropolitan Room. They are available online at http://wrbbb3.brownpapertickets.com.
