BioHowdy there, Gayety Blog is the online voice of Gayety, a queer humor collective. Well maybe not a queer humor collective, since there's only two (well two and a half) of us here in New York at the moment. Maybe "a couple of friends that also happen to be queer/performance artists/comics and so put on shows, and maintain a blog and develop a podcast."
Gayety started in Bevin's one bedroom (but nevertheless filled with animals. It's truly like the cantina bar in Star Wars) apartment in West Philly. It was merely a super fun writing group then. With the helping of founding member R.M. (full name inclusion pending her appproval, she's a superstar in her somewhat conservative field these days)Gayety became a zine, a website and a performance series. After experimenting with a few different venues, Gayety (Gayety the performance series that is) began filling Joe Coffee with our strange, hysterically funny and thought provoking little show which brought together funny queers of all performance persuasions. And trivia. Always trivia, with mostly awesome prizes unless Kelli went unsupervised to the dollar store and brought back canned sardines and spam. [Or a partially used roll of duct tape. That happened once, too.--Bevin]
In 2006, Kelli moved to Portland for a year and produced a Gayety there, which even include a token straightgirl comic (they made her wear a rainbow flag to perform) and outgrew its venue the very first night. In March 2007, Kelli moved back to the east coast, and Kelli and Bevin were reunited (it kind of looked like Miss Piggy and Kermit in the meadow scene in the first Muppet Movie) and decided New York needed Gayety too.
So, in New York, Gayety is a blog (this blog in fact, which is written and produced from Gotham but with a real effort to be both nationally and internationally relevant) and a performance series which will debut in September 2007.
