OUR SHOW ON FEBRUARY 1st FEATURES ....

WENDY HO

Picture
Wendy Jo Smith, aka, The Queen of Sass and Crass: Wendy Ho. One part skilled singer, one part comedienne, one part white rapper, and one part flamboyant entertainer.  Ho sounds like Lil’ Kim and Aretha eatin’ Peaches on a Lonely Island. Stealing ladies’ handbags from coat rooms at parties inspired her track “Bitch, I Stole Yo Purse!,” which became the #1 Funniest Video of 2008 on the MTV/LOGO Network, and was spoofed on FX’s Nip/Tuck with Jennifer Coolidge playing their version of Wendy Ho.  This track came from the beloved cult classic album, The Gospel According to Ho  which includes the torch song parody of Brenda Russel’s “Get Here,” now known as, “Fuck Me,” and the tell all story of her own drug intervention “Cocaine.” This irreverence and balls-out femininity struck a special chord with the gay community, inspiring drag queens around the world to perform her songs and celebrate Ho.

With a rainbow hurricane of gay support behind her, Wendy Ho owned 2009-10, performing across North America and abroad, with venues in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Montreal, Miami, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and her hometown of Kansas City, as well as an Atlantis gay cruise to Rome, Greece, and Egypt.  She also appeared on Showtime’s series I Can’t Believe I’m Still Single.

And the music don’t stop. Ho recently dropped Number Two, a mixtape packed with fresh song jacks, freestyles, mashups and remixes, including the dirty disco anthem “Poop Noodle.” The “Poop Noodle” video, meanwhile, is delighting and disgusting thousands of viewers daily on YouTube. Ho’s new full-length album Yes, I’m a Ho! has recently been released to satisfied hobags worldwide.  Featuring edgy, musically and thematically diverse tracks like “I Can’t Afford It (I’m Gonna Have to Abort It)” and “Gurl, Putcho Tampon In,” Yes, I’m a Ho! is a soon-to-be-notorious classic hip-hop/r&b record. Loaded  with eleven original songs (no samples this time around), Ho combines tongue-in-cheek delivery with in-your-face prophecy. Most recently Ho headlined at the world’s largest Pride Festival in San Francisco.  That same weekend she performed with Sandra Bernhard on her show, I Love Being Me, Don’t You? Ho is an artist.  Ho is a state of mind.  Ho redefines women in music with true liberation.  She is funny and sexy, never sacrificing one for the other.  A pretty bitch, a witty feminist, a self-possessed, self-assured mashup of street and trash who makes you laugh while she makes you think.  The responses she evokes from audiences are as diverse as her roots, but at the core there is no question about who she is.  Wendy is all woman.  All Ho.
