MAR 9-26: SANDRA BERNHARD AT L.A.’S SILENT MOVIE THEATER
KICKS OFF NEW U.S. TOUR, "EVERYTHING BAD AND BEAUTIFUL”; ALSO GUESTSTARS ON NBC’S “CROSSING JORDAN” AND SHOWTIME’S “THE L WORD”
You know her, you love her. And I don't mean just you, David Letterman, I mean all of you, you know who you are, damn it! Yes, SANDRA BERNHARD — iconoclast, actress, author, comedian, singer — is set to launch a U.S. tour of her eclectic new show, EVERYTHING BAD AND BEAUTIFUL, with a run of performances at the (now-not-so-silent) Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax (near Melrose) in Los Angeles, March 9 through 26. The show – an extravaganza of riotous comedy, reckless rock ‘n’ roll, and trenchant social commentary – is Ms. B at her fearless and versatile best. (NOTE: amazing virtuoso violinist Lili Haydn is set to sit in with Sandra on one or more of the shows, yet another reason to get your butts down to the SMT.)
As combative as it is perceptive, Sandra’s latest work is in part a sparkling collage of classic bits and pieces from her past work, putting her ever-evolving platform for pop culture, politics, passion, pathos and truth on full display. At the same time, her latest assaults on the lunacy of America’s political and cultural landscape reveal a vanguard performer who is as sharp as ever after nearly 30 years on stage.
Meanwhile, Sandra joined the cast of NBC’s hit crime drama Crossing Jordan, guest starring as a sexy, no-nonsense detective Roz Framus for the February 13 episode. In the episode, Sandra’s character teams up with Bug (Ravi Kapoor) to unravel the events leading to the death of a kidnapped vagrant. Sandra reprises her role as Detective Framus in a pair of episodes set to air later in the season. Sandra also has begun an extended guest role as an author and writing teacher on Showtime’s The L Word, which began its second season last month.
Sandra's previous credits include: “I’m Still Here…Damn It!”, which appeared on Broadway, “Without You I’m Nothing,” and “Excuses For Bad Behavior.” On the big screen she has been seen in The King Of Comedy, Somewhere In The City, Inside Monkey Zetterland, Hudson Hawk and Track 29 -- while on television, Bernhard had a regular (and groundbreaking) role on Roseanne and guest turns on Law & Order: SVU, Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope, The Sopranos and Will & Grace. Ms. B also hosted her own talk show, The Sandra Bernhard Experience, on A&E. Her books include: "Confessions of A Pretty Lady", "Love, Love, and Love" and "May I Kiss You on the Lips, Miss Sandra?".
