i was there that night also .. good grief lol .. that was a great night lol .. was that not one of the best live performances ever ??? i remember standing in the crowd watching as this most consummate of performances stunned and elated me .. flawless and historical .. true gold .. seeing this video now for the first time .. and it was just as i remembered it .. thanks for posting it .. i'm in the background stage left which makes it a rare moment to see myself back in the day .. cheers lol
Lypsinka is a fucking genius -and especially in the sound editing -all those great clips from a thousand different sources. Hats off! He and Lynne Carter are the finest acts I've seen.
A spectacular piece of perforando art. As someone else already said, Lypsinka truly has no peer. She elevates the gente in a way that is breathtaking to watch. I particularly love the sheer expressiveness of her gorgeous arms. They are her most dramatic supporting cast.
……. John Epperson had me in stitches one year at a Wigstock he performed at … I saw Charles Busch before he had left the West Village & arrived on B'way … Ever hear of Dickie Beau? … Another amazingly talented caricaturist … Happy searching … Thanks for uploading this gem, oldschooljunkie ~ (•8-D
Indescribably Spectacular! Lypsinka is, Truly, MORE Rare than "One of a Kind"; a Performer...and, Artiste...Non-Pareille!!! (...Barbara, PLEEEASE...?!)
Amazing Queen...Beautiful, talented and funny... a fabulous combination. Pure camp.. Pure excellence. WOW.. NOW THIS is drag.. the way drag should be done. From now on I will be comparing every queen to her... Thank you Rodger... subscribed
It's fascinating to hear the original audio track after having watched it countless times in "Wigstock: the Movie." How those filmmakers managed to write and record alternative audio that would avoid a copyright issue will never receive the credit it deserves.
Absolutely briliant! Combination Joan Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor. The best and worst of both. Phone rings and she morphs. A complicated mixture of both people. The facial expressions belie the truth. A Legendary star. Thunderous applause. Fade out. End scene. Curtain…
@EvelynThomasElite Thank You, yes I did some research and found out about "Butterfield 8," as well as X,Y, and Zee. I've watched "Butterfield" since, and will watch the others, too. Again, Thanks so much!
We'll have the memory of John with us forever. 1993 (fantastic time to be 20 in NYC)... BoyBar (my god, what can i say)... Lypsinka (my first time seeing her perform)... I'm so sad John's gone but he made so many of us happy at a time when we needed it. He handed it out like candy. Rest in Peace
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you wrote this sometime in April or May 2023 and John appeared at a LGBTQ Policy Center event on June 15, 2023. His most recent tweet was June 25, 2023.
Men like John Epperson and Charles Busch lifted drag from merely Saturday night camp at the local gay bar into intelligent comedic performance art. I think of the pretty, effeminate boys I've seen in hooker shoes and MAC make-up, lyp syncing poorly to whatever pop vixen of that moment and I yearn for a Lypsinka. People will mention Lady Bunny, but I'm not a huge fan of conventional stand-up comedy. For me, Lypsinka, Varla Jean Merman, Charles Busch and the like, are consumate performers.
I was lucky enough to have seen her live back in late 1990's as well. I've look all over for her on the INTERNET and like an idiot I was separating her first name into two. I've never been good at math or spelling. Anyway, I've founly finded her. What luck.
Someone needs to go through and list everything she sampled in this performance! I obviously know the Mommie Dearest parts and the small bit from Chinatown, and I know the song is But Alive from Applause. But I have been trying to figure out everything else with my googling yielding little to no results! I feel like such an uncultured gay for recognizing almost none of it! If anyone can give me origins for ANY of the other sound clips, that would be awesome!
"Get out of here you little tramp!" (Joan Crawford in "I Saw What You Did") "...and I liked it!" (Piper Laurie in "Carrie") Bette Davis in the musical play "Two's Company" Lauren Bacall in the musical "Applause"
@@TheBearAspirin I think, actually, the version of But Alive is Dusty Springfield's (with some original lyrics). It happens to be on UA-cam--check it out!
@@arthurboehm no-this version of "but alive" is Lauren Bacall's first number in the broadway musical APPLAUSE, where she plays Margo Channing. it's from the original broadway cast recording.
In the pre-computer days, audio editing was done manually by either a quick hand at the controls when creating a master tape, or by physically cutting and splicing tapes. Imagine how much more work and inspiration it took.
Does anyone know where she's getting her material from when the script gets tawdry? I know some of it is from "Carrie," but in particular when she says, "! loved it! Every awful moment of it I loved!"
I am desperate to identify the audio clip pertaining to "Mrs. Whitney Ames and her debutante daughters Susan and Lydia"...anybody know what this is from???

Katya brought me here. This is mind-blowing 🎉
Katya recommendations never disappoint!
The artistry! The choice of material (& what it says); the mercurial moods; the sheer technique; the commentary. No one like Lypsinka.
So we’ll put. And so true. The best of the best in that vein.
Now that is a Drag Queen to respect!
Absolute camp deliciousness and this is how you serve it. Love Lypsinka XXXXXX

I was there too. Lypsinka has no equal.
That’s awesome!!!!
Lipsynka is a goddess.... If only more drag could be like this now.
Lypsinka is a fucking genius -and especially in the sound editing -all those great clips from a thousand different sources. Hats off! He and Lynne Carter are the finest acts I've seen.
Artistry of the highest order.........
First time seeing this because of Katya..wow! This material has to be under your skin to be able to switch between cuts like this 👏🏼❤️ a pro
She is so so talented... great actor!!!! I love herrrrr.
Katya sent me.
As always.
yup
Same girl!
Amazing! The greatest ❤
genius. i *always* find myself smiling no matter what mood i am in when i watch her.... a true original.

Wonderful! She's the cream of the crop, the queen of the fop, the cream in Louie B. Meyer's sock. God love it, goddammit.
Looking for myself in the audience, haha, great times great performance
Here because of Kayta and trixie!

*@Rodger Mikhaiel* ...
Wow. That was some next level shit right there. Brilliant, well-thought out, and exciting.
Lypsinka really is genius! Especially the three debauched turns at the end. Marvellous fun!
Amazing Queen...Beautiful, talented and funny... a fabulous combination. Pure camp.. Pure excellence. WOW.. NOW THIS is drag.. the way drag should be done.

The phone bit is hysterical.
Absolutely amazing!
art!
An amazing performance.
Brilliant!! LOVE IT!!❤️😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot thank you enough for uploading this!
Theo McKenna happy to hear that
OMG, this is genius.
@fuzzycublb they dared to take drag to a level of comprehensive creativity, and pushed it into an art form. just brilliant!
It's fascinating to hear the original audio track after having watched it countless times in "Wigstock: the Movie." How those filmmakers managed to write and record alternative audio that would avoid a copyright issue will never receive the credit it deserves.
Ok. This is cool.
Here from Trixi & Katya podcast!
Same 😁
I deadass paused just to look it up 😂
Sameee
Thank you for posting this video of Lypsinka. I miss her so much. I was craving her and her performances.
Absolutely briliant! Combination Joan Crawford and
Elizabeth Taylor. The best and worst of both.
Phone rings and she morphs.
A complicated mixture of both people. The facial expressions belie the truth.
A Legendary star. Thunderous applause. Fade out. End scene. Curtain…
Holy shit, I am forever changed. So good
Blowminding!
This is amazing
Genius! I wonder where the sound clip of 'She's my sister AND my daughter!' comes from?
Dianaemanuel if I m not listaken it s geil thé movie China Town with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway
Dianaemanuel ua-cam.com/video/wnrdetFAo1o/v-deo.html
Dianaemanuel that s from the Movie CHINA TOWN with Faye Dunaway & Jack Nicholson.
Brilliant! A drag legend long before Drag Race was even a thing.
Thank you

Lypsinka gives great Dolores Gray.
Really a master at what he does. And to know him he's very unimposing.
We'll have the memory of John with us forever.
1993 (fantastic time to be 20 in NYC)...
BoyBar (my god, what can i say)...
Lypsinka (my first time seeing her perform)...
I'm so sad John's gone but he made so many of us happy at a time when we needed it. He handed it out like candy.
Rest in Peace

Lypsinka's alive and well honey
@@RJJNY Yeah, some evil hag told me John had gone. Men!
@@shoowtime Not even nice as an April Fool's joke. My friend Ms. Hagella got out of hand.
amazing!!!
I'm LMMFAO!!!😂😂😂
Barbara please!!

It's from "Two's Company", her attempt at a Bway musical, 1952
Fucking genius!
Great video!
I was lucky enough to have seen her live back in late 1990's as well. I've look all over for her on the INTERNET and like an idiot I was separating her first name into two. I've never been good at math or spelling. Anyway, I've founly finded her. What luck.
Its Liz Taylor from Butterfield 8
The BEST
A true professional
DON’T F*CK WITH ME FELLAS! BARBARA PLEASE! 👏🏻
saw her live on Miami Beach in the 90s - just spectacular
Someone needs to go through and list everything she sampled in this performance!
I obviously know the Mommie Dearest parts and the small bit from Chinatown, and I know the song is But Alive from Applause. But I have been trying to figure out everything else with my googling yielding little to no results! I feel like such an uncultured gay for recognizing almost none of it!

You'll get quite a few of these lines if you watch Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8
"Get out of here you little tramp!" (Joan Crawford in "I Saw What You Did")
"...and I liked it!" (Piper Laurie in "Carrie")
Bette Davis in the musical play "Two's Company"
Lauren Bacall in the musical "Applause"

how did they edit tracks in 1993.. my baby mind doesn't know
In the pre-computer days, audio editing was done manually by either a quick hand at the controls when creating a master tape, or by physically cutting and splicing tapes. Imagine how much more work and inspiration it took.
Does anyone know where she's getting her material from when the script gets tawdry? I know some of it is from "Carrie," but in particular when she says, "! loved it! Every awful moment of it I loved!"
“Every awful moment …” is from Butterfield 8, Elizabeth Taylor. The “his new associate the talented Rae” is Susan Hayward Back Street.
@@unioncityman63 Thank you!
❤️ HER BEEN LOOKING FOR HER VIA EVER SOCIAL MEDIA FORUM BUT,I GOT HER NOW..WAS NOT SURE HOW SHE SPELLED HER NAME
Barbara pleeeez
I am desperate to identify the audio clip pertaining to "Mrs. Whitney Ames and her debutante daughters Susan and Lydia"...anybody know what this is from???
It’s a fifties movie, cannot think of the name. It might have been a Delores Grey picture.
@jpnbronx323 missed your comment before I posted--thanks!
What's the suspense music in the background, during the "confession monologue" part?
Sounds like Hitchcock.
Omnisexual, and very, very brave.
@ToddK1969 BACKSTREET with Susan Hayward.
Anybody know where the soundbyte "Hello Dearies and a big hi-de-ho" comes from? Pretty sure it's Bette Davis, but not sure what the source is...?
Hollywood Canteen
Morrissey's favorite!
Im not into drag queens but she had something special
Tough crowd.
