Whitney Streed by Rebel Rogue Media - Sammy Rivera I first worked with Whitney Streed in Portland, Oregon during 2009-11. A degree holding almost 30-something transplant from Colorado Springs, CO., Streed weaves puns in and out of self-deprecating gender confusion jokes. Her ability to room-read is fairly unparalleled and she's amassed a sizable list of comedian friends for any booking occasion. She's also played family and conservative rooms in the regions, including Applebee's , where she got a check to tell jokes while people ate. The mental games and exercises in writing are something she's been doing for five years plus, but she first had a career in editing text books before moving to Oregon in the 2000's. Now doing adult care to make it all work, Streed hosts her own comedy night, travels out of region, and has credits on Portlandia , U.S. Comedy Festivals, and her set time is growing stronger and longer. A comedian's comedian, a writer and f

An In-Depth Interview   by Kaylin Idora This article was originally published world-wide in "The Best of Frankie Tease Vol. 2" ebook, August 2013. The first time I encountered the magnanimous performer known as Perle Noire was at Dita Von Teese's "Strip Strip Hooray!" show in Las Vegas, May, 2012. An eye-level stage while standing, I remember looking up and saying "Love you Perle" and she looked back and said "love you too". Not only is her act distinct, she is a powerful dancer with a natural and subtle command of the audience, and the musicality of a goddess. The body? Well, hers leaves nothing to be desired with tone just about everywhere you can imagine. The good thing, is you don't have to imagine, because she'll show you. Her topless acrobatics are a high point for any show she is involved in, bar none. She leaves nothing but ovations in her wake as the audience cries for more. Her love of the

This article was originally published in July 2013  in the Best of Frankie Tease Magazine eBook via iTunes, Amazon, Nook Sex, raunch, man talk, comedian interviews, rock stars. If you like that, you'll love Gooch. Brandon "Gooch" Hahn (33) hails from Toledo, Ohio and has been a radio fixture for many years in Las Vegas. The man is a well-known comedian who's just getting major breaks at casino comedy clubs after playing tons of local haunts. I sat down to have a brief chat with Gooch about what he's got going now, and what we can look forward to from him in 2013. FT: The last time I spoke with you was in 2011 at Comics Under the Influence show in Vegas. What is going on with you now and where can fans see you? BH: CUI WOW?! That was a long time ago. How drunk was I? Nothing much has changed. I’m still with KOMP 92.3 and still grinding away at stand-up. I’ll be featuring at the Laugh Factory (inside the Tropicana) March 25th – 31st and I’ll a

This interview with Mark Mori was originally published in "The Best of Frankie Tease Magazine Vol. 1" 2012 ebook. Enjoy. Check for the new film in your city soon. It’s June 2012 (Las Vegas) and I am calling New York to speak with Academy Award Nominated Director Mark Mori about his new film Bettie Page Reveals All (2012) . He aims to give me the scoop on the amazing new documentary about Bettie Page (one of America’s most treasured celebrities), and how she came to narrate her own life’s story for his film. He is a concise well–spoken man who has obviously been changed by getting to know Bettie Page over the last few years of her life on this earth (R.I.P. Bettie 1923-2008). See what fascinating Director Mark Mori (Building Bombs) tells about the new Bettie Page Reveals All film in this interview below. FT: How or why did you start this film project in the first place? MM: Well, in 1996 I was having lunch in Los Angeles with my entertainment attorney, and he

Chloe Crawford - Murray Sawchuck - Lefty  by Frankie Tease Nov.2012, Las Vegas Show Review Murray Sawchuck is one of those people you relish meeting if not for his magic, then for his sheer fame. Tons of people remember him as he spoke these words on America's Got Talent in 2010 "America, this is the trick you'll be talking about tomorrow" and vanished a life-size real train in honor of his Canadian railroad-worker father. A slight-of-hand performer and title holder of World Champion Magician, Murray has been touring the planet for well over 20 years. Korea and Japan are just two of those places he's a favorite and his almost daily show is now at the Laugh Factory at Tropicana in Vegas. Partners include his wife Chloe Crawford, and long-time magic partner "Lefty". Other TV appearances you may know Murray from include: Celebracadabra, Celebrity Blind Date, Entertainment Tonight, Fast Track to Fame, The Jadagrace Show, Jerry Lewis Tel

Reverend Horton Heat by Frankie Tease As a long time fan of the Heat, when I got the confirmation for the interview with the man live at Vegas's Vinyl at Hard Rock, December 2012, I almost had a private Psychobilly Freakout. Some of my friends and readers are very long-term and hardcore music devotees of Reverend Horton Heat, and in my Wildest Dreams I never thought I'd be interviewing someone who's provided me with so much entertainment over the years. I used my Martini Time to gather my best questions to make sure I could do the interview without Goin' Manic. Jim Heath has been a Texas Rockabilly Rebel for a long time, and his trio has been a mainstay on the American Stage since the late 80's. I had a lot of questions already in the queue. You Gotta Hand it To Me, this was one of those amazing opportunities. Out of Dallas, Texas, Jim Heath (53) can still tear up the stage next to a modern psychobilly act or some of the top punk rock and roll groups of our
