Tom Orr lives up to his billing as a star of comedy, cabaret, and porn by parodying show tunes in various states of dress and undress. In drag, he sings, "I'm strictly an email she-male," transforming "I Enjoy Being a Girl" into a song about online impersonation. A quick change and he's in a G-string, advising on fellatio technique to the tune of "Gotta Get a Gimmick." Other subjects skewered by Orr's satirical lyrics include gay adoption, celebrity magazines, and X-rated stardom. His observations are blunt, but his cleverness is impressive, even if it causes audience members to giggle and squirm. Scrumbly Koldewyn, a core member of the Cockettes, provides piano accompaniment and sings backup.
