My pal Kristina Wong, performance artist extraordinaire, tells me that her nationally acclaimed show, Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next, is coming through Los Angeles one last time. ("No extensions! No more plans to come back through Los Angeles! Wong is leaving the building!") It runs September 19 through October 5 at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica. Tickets are on sale now. Here are some details:
You'll laugh. You'll cry. Your world will be rocked. To learn more about the crazy Kristina Wong we know and love, visit her website here. Longtime readers also know that Ms. Wong is the original mad genius behind BigBadChineseMama.com, the hilarious fake mail order pride/Asian porn site, which recently underwent a big redesign. Check it out.
