Live Review:
send your Bernhard
at The Pavilion in the Fire Island Pines,
August 25, 2018
Edgy! Besmirched with an
ironic humor and a sardonic
sensibility.
The master of satirical and
trenchant comedic vibrancy,
singer, actress, humorist,
author, Sandra Bernhard stole
the hearts and laughter of
loyal fanatics in a sold out
performance at The Pavilion
in The Fire Island Pines. With
a vigorous and incisive style
Sandra delivered the current
news, and family conundrums,
adding a bit of song and music
director Mitch Kaplan to the
mix. She always keeps the
material fresh and relevant. I’ve
experienced several “Sandra”
productions, on Fire Island,
as well as Joe’s Pub, and I’ve
never seen the same routine
twice.
This evening the quipster
seemed more vivacious than
during prior engagements and
completely happy to be on
stage. She sang three songs,
each dramatically delivered,
and well arranged.
The crowd adored her. Smiles
and laughter remained on the
congregation’s faces for a solid
hour and at the climax and finale,
her standing ovation was well
deserved. She looked radiant and
beautiful in her little dress that
matched the stage lighting.
When the performance had
ended, although she had another
gig following, she still found time
to meet her fans and followers
outside the venue, for anyone
who desired an autograph or
photo. Although on stage her
performance is unequivocally
audacious and at times a bit
scorching towards political figures
and fellow entertainers, her offstage
presence is demure and
sweet.
You can hear Sandra Monday
through Thursday on SIrius
XM Radio’s, Andy as she hosts
Sandyland, a variety show with
cool guests in the entertainment
and fashion industry. She will also
be doing her usual end of year
residency at Joe’s Pub in New
York City.
