DYNASTY HANDBAG 101
FOR TICKETS

Is Weirdo Night for Weirdos or from Weirdos?  Where is the overlap between drag and bedraggled?  How does Dynasty Handbag make her audience feel simultaneously uncomfortable and at ease?  Intro and Q&A by Jibz Cameron (who channels the divine spirit that is Ms. H) with director, documentarian, and footage keeper Mariah Garnett.

WEIRDO NIGHT dir. Mariah Garnett 43 min

When COVID times hit, things were already weird for legendary performance artist Dynasty Handbag. Yes, she did have a regularly scheduled feeding off of the live energy of humans during monthly performances at Zebulon in Los Angeles. But when quarantine emptied the place, she took her show to the next level—performing to nobody. Weirdo Night takes no prisoners as Dynasty Handbag pillages the late-night television profile to give us this gorgeous, delicious derangement. (DH)

GARBAGE CASTLE  dir. Jibz Cameron & Casey Rupp 8 min

Dynasty Handbag lives in a one-room SRO on top of a pile of trash. This dandy possum lives in the garbage bin in there… and Maria Bamford is in it. She’s the hippie landlord.  (Artillery Magazine)
