"One More Thing..."

The first-ever "The Real Housewives of Columbo" was a smash success!! Thank you to everyone who came out and packed Cornelia Street Cafe. We had a blast! We had such a good time, in fact, that we've already been booked for a return engagement. So, mark your calendars: Saturday, June 17th, 6pm at Cornelia Street Cafe! A whole new housewife, an entirely different murder.

We'll see you there!



Sing for Felipe!


huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Sing for Felipe benefit at Sid Gold's! Felipe is a beloved part of our Sid Gold's family and he risked his life to save a stranger who fell on the subway tracks. Unfortunately, Felipe was badly hurt in the process. We held a benefit and were able to raise money towards his medical bills. You can still contribute on his GoFundMe page. Here's the Sid Gold's keyboard karaoke orchestra at the benefit!

2nd Annual Jesus Christ Superstar at Sid Gold's!

I'm back for the 2nd year in a row to betray Jesus! Join us on Sunday, April 16th, 8pm, at Sid Gold's Request Room as we perform selections from the classic Jesus Christ Superstar. It's Easter Sunday! Let's have some wine and share communion!


"Just One More Thing..."

Oh yes, people. This is happening. From the deep recesses of my brain, I bring you...


Be sure to make those reservations by calling Cornelia Street Cafe at 212-989-9319!

It’s the 1970’s. The cocktail parties are glamorous, the brandy snifters abound, the clothes are colorfully polyester, and when foul play occurs, homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo is on the case. But behind every man’s untimely death remains a shattered housewife who wants answers. 

Join Leslie Goshko (Huffington PostSideshow Goshko) as she presents this comedic musical-mystery show where day-drinking is glamorous and chain-smoking the norm. Play detective and receive clues from live musical performances, special guests, overly dramatic pauses, and more. And just when you think you have the case solved, there’s “one more thing”…there always is when you’re dealing with The Real Housewives of Columbo!

And now with special guests:

GARY BURTON!
TAMRA PASELK!
and
JAN TILLEY!

Piano Karaoke Time!

It's that time again! The time where you bring your pipes, I provide the tunes, and we all have a blissful karaoke time together!

I'll be behind the baby grand at Sid Gold's Request Room tomorrow, Saturday 3/25 and Friday, 3/31, 9pm - 1am. Stop by, have a drink, sing a song!

I will also provide ridiculously over-excited facial expressions.
Check out the current song list HERE!

Loser's Lounge Tribute to ELTON JOHN!!!

To say I am EXCITED about the upcoming Loser's Lounge Tribute to Sir Elton John is an understatement. How much of an understatement? Let's just say that in college he came to town and the show was sold-out. I weaseled my way into working the event so I could be the worst usher ever and just watch the concert. It was awesome! I met Elton's Limo driver! I dedicated a whole page in my college scrapbook (yes, I had one of those) to it!

Proof I'm obsessed!
I'm pretty sure most of the shows are sold-out, but if you can, grab a ticket to this awesome tribute! I'll be there Thursday and Friday with a couple surprises in store!

IT'S ELTON, BITCHES!!!!

Tickets and info HERE!

She's Having a Baby!...and other Kate Bush Trivia

Piano party clips are sloooowly rolling out (I'm also still learning how to use iMovie. I know, I'm late to the game.), but here we have a cover of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" where I dissect the movie "She Having a Baby" and bring you one degree closer to Kevin Bacon.
