‘Carol’ is Caliente!

Who needs a stripper on a pole when you can experience the most exquisite sexual build up between two people in the history of film with the new period drama Carol. Our girl Cate Blanchett does an outstanding job as 1950s socialite Carol Aird, a woman who is going through a bitter divorce as she […]

Lesbian Hilarity in Marga Gomez’ ‘Pound’

I’m super excited for the San Francisco October premiere of my eleventh solo comedy POUND at Brava Theater. It’s been a fantastic experience that began earlier this year in NYC.

Quinceañera x 2

When I turned 50 in 2009, it really was no big deal. All my parts still worked and I wasn’t in need of stool softeners.  Ok—maybe half a tab.  But I looked cool when I danced…that’s if you closed one eye and squinted. So it’s now 2012 and I must say, this is a big […]
