She was incisive, funny, energetic, insightful and charming. I couldn't take my eyes off her--couldn't wait to see what character she would slip into next, or what she would say about politics ("Dumbo meets Gumbo") or current events. She's definitely a liberal and she's definitely mad as hell about Bush.

Anyway, all her old characters were there--Edith Ann and Ernestine *snort* and the whole gang!

She even did a long Q & A (the q's were submitted beforehand on note cards) with the lights up at the end. Off the cuff, she's just as charming and witty as during her performance.

"Our greatest tool for survival is our ability to delude ourselves" was one of her memorable quotes tonight.

During the Q & A session, someone asked "What do you think about gay marriage?" Lily said, "I think imitating heterosexuals is a slippery slope. I mean, what next? Monster truck shows?"

*sigh* I just love her.




She has a good website with her partner, Jane, here:
