CARSON KRESSLEY AND KRISTINE W MIX COMEDY AND
CLASSICS IN ‘STRAIGHT UP WITH A TWIST’
On March 16, TV personality Carson Kressley will join forces with hit
dance recording sensation Kristine W at New York City’s Joe’s Pub for
an evening to remember, filled with comedy and song.
Kressley, of course, is best known for being the fashion virtuoso on
the hit television program “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” He’s also
appeared on “Dancing With the Stars,” the “Miss Universe Pageant”
and was a host on the ABC series “True Beauty.” He regularly critiques
red carpet events including the Oscars and the Golden Globes and can
currently be seen judging the queens on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
Kristine W is an international dance music diva. Billboard Magazine
recently named her “Dance Music Artist of the Decade.” Her latest
single, “Stars,” ties her with Mariah Carey for the sixth artist with the
most #1 club hits ever. She’s had an astounding 17, including “Feel
What You Want” and “One More Try.”
The long-time friends are excited
to take the stage together for
the first time in “Straight Up
With a Twist.”

So tell us a little about the show.
Carson: We have two amazing
shows coming up: March 16 at
Joe’s Pub in New York City and the
17th in New Hope. It will be two
evenings of cabaret, classics and
comedy. Kristine and I have been
great friends for years. We travel in
the same circles professionally, and
it’s exciting to finally get together
for a fun night entertaining people.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
Carson: This is kind of like our pilot
show in New York and New Hope. If
all goes well, we’ll take it across the
country and beyond.
