ELECTIONS AND ERECTIONS

Yep, that’s the name of his show!

Don’t miss South African’s political satirist, Pieter-Dirk Uys

[pronounced “Peter Dirk Ace”]

this weekend at The Redcat -- Disney Hall’s little theatre downstairs.

Ms. Evita Bezuidenhout, "the most famous white woman in South Africa"

In his hometown of Darling

I caught his performance this weekend at UCLA and it’s slap-your-thigh, stand-up-and-holler frolicking entertainment. This talented impersonator [even does an impeccable Bill Clinton and Desmond Tutu] who lives in the tiny town of Darling, is ghastly extraordinary and he does it all under the umbrella of HIV prevention. Pieter has been an AIDS activist from Day One and even travels around his homeland of South Africa carrying a dildo to schools teaching kids how to have sex properly. Yeah, Pieter! We need more like you . . .

I will interview Pieter once I’m back from my trip.
