Show Notes
Dennis is joined by his queer sketch comedy queen friend Nora Burns to talk about her new stage show Candied Camera Live!, which is based on a real public access TV show she produced and hosted back in the 1990s. Nora talks about the material on the show that would definitely get her cancelled today, using a sex club with a camera in it as a studio and thinking for decades that the Candied Camera tapes been lost forever only to find they had been donated to a NY library and she could access themĀ Nora also shares her excitement about returning to LA for the first time since before the pandemic and enlisting Dennis to be one of her long-in-the-tooth gogo boys. (He was an immediate yes). Other topics include: how she keeps friendships going for decades by never letting people go, what her grown children think of her gay sketch comedy lifestyle, her first time in a gay club, her obsessions with Dreamgirls,The Poseidon Adventure and disco and the special skill she picked up growing up in Massachusetts that might surprise people.
