Who else is a fan of Shirley Q. Liquor?

Question

"How you durrin'?"

"She" is quite controversial - a White man in Black drag, showcasing a character who is, as he has described her, "an inarticulate Black woman on welfare with 19 kids."

The comic who created Shirley is Chuck Knipp (pronounced with a hard K, like in Evel Knievel). At first he performed as Shirley on radio. That eventually lead to stand-up, so while he tried figuring out how to perform Shirley live, he concluded that he'd have to dress in drag to make her come to life.

You should see his getup, it's HILARIOUS!!! She basically looks like a Black version of Mimi Bobek Carey from The Drew Carey Show.

All of this sounds pretty controversial, and to some, it is. This is basically a modern-day minstrel show, with a twist. The twist is that the artist (Knipp) isn't making fun of his character or her race, he's making fun of how some racists view Black people. Basically, he's making fun of racism altogether, and giving his audience a d**n good laugh!

Answer 2

My only answer isn't an answer at all, but a request----WHEN, WHERE, WHAT CHANNEL, WHAT TIME CAN I ENJOY THIS AWESOMELY TALENTED YOUNG MAN?  My laughing life sucks---can I say that?

Seriously, I would  enjoy immensely a sense of humor of this stature-- having to live with so much strictness daily laughing would probably bring on an o****m--I can't believe I wrote that or rather admitted it.    BYE
