In 2007, those worlds meshed when she created her first live show, “At Least It’s Pink”: “I thought maybe I could take my wild karaoke style, and cabaret, and put them together in my own act.” “Every Sunday night for like seven years I’d go to this place on the Upper West Side, and I would just go apes - - t,” she says. Why not share that with the audience?’ - Bridget Everett ‘They’re just t - ts! It makes me feel powerful. She was also going uptown to blow off steam doing karaoke. “But I started going to see Kiki and Herb, and Murray Hill - it was like, ‘Oh, my God, there’s this whole crazy world of performers I didn’t know existed.’ ” She got her start in the early 2000s when she moved to New York as part of a children’s theater troupe. Everett, 44, is known in downtown circles for her bawdy, anything-goes live shows, in which she’s likely to take her top off, straddle patrons’ faces, spray mouthfuls of Chardonnay into the air, use colorful phallic props and, as she puts it, “motorboat” the occasional aisle-sitter.

The entirety of that line, as Everett’s fans know, is more vulgar than anything an 82-year-old would normally sing.Īpparently, an appreciation for raunch runs in the family. “I brought the microphone to her and she sang a verse of my song, ‘What I Gotta Do.’ ” “My mom was there, she’s 82,” says Everett.
