Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 381 – August 22, 2018

A lot of people don’t know that I sing. So
whenever I meet a kind of kindred spirit—
somebody who is an actor, and people
expect a certain thing from them, and
they surprise you—it’s always sort of like,
yeah. I guess he started off singing from
Australia. So I guess right now Guy Pearce
is my most recent favorite guest.
You know what, many people aren’t
aware that you do sing, especially in
the U.K., where I happen to be at the
moment.
Well, they should have all been at Ronnie
Scotts when I was there in February. It
doesn’t matter—all the shows were sold
out, and they couldn’t have gotten in,
but next time I’m back, which should be
a year from this fall, they should all come
and see me. You will let them know next
time.
I absolutely will. So how is your
daughter and Sarah?
They are great. They are so busy doing
all sorts of interesting things this summer.
Actually, she’s going to do her junior year
abroad in London. We’re all just like pedal
to the metal. It’s all exciting and great!
Things are really moving and grooving.
You’re still based in New York, and you
will still be doing Joe’s Pub?
Yeah, I’ll be doing Joe’s again, my usual
day after Christmas through New Year’s.
So I’m looking forward to that.
Is the show at The Pines brand new?
It’s the show that I did essentially last
December at Joe’s. My material, most of
it is evergreen, based on stories of my life
and growing up, my family. So it’s always
pretty fresh, even if I pick something up
that I thought about doing 10 years ago.
It’s sort of all for my intimate collection:
the intimate collection of Sandra
Bernhard.
I hear a new show title in that.
Well, there will be a new show title. I don’t
know if it will be that, but that’s a good
one to keep on reserve.
