A compelling mixture of haute cuisine, abuse, and novel profanity, Hell's Kitchen is as addictive (and punishing) as a platter of chocolate truffles. Ramsay, former contestants, and the show's creative team will discuss their experiences taking the heat and staying in the kitchen.

Singer/songwriter David Ryan Harris has been challenging mainstream notions of black performers since fronting the Atlanta-based rock group Follow for Now in the late '80s. Harris' talent as a producer and guitarist includes albums from Dionne Farris and the short lived trio Brand New Immortals, which featured Harris with former Black Crowes bassist Johnny Colt and drummer Kenny Cresswell. David's latest solo effort is 'Soulstice.' Chris Pierce is a soul singe, song-craftsman and gifted performer. "Wolf, who relocated from the Bay Area to Santa Monica in 2004, is also an accomplished improviser who moves easily between afro-caribbean projects with Omar Sosa and John Santos and performs with AguaLibre. She's equally effective belting out R&B as employing extended vocal techniques that can sound like a scratching turntable or a slide trombone" - Los Angeles Times.

“The Hottest Ticket In Town” …New York Times “Riotously funny….Sublime” …Variety THE KINSEY SICKS IN Condoleezzapalooza Returning To Los Angeles For An Exclusive Performance At The Pacific Design Center’s SilverScreen Theater on Saturday, February 9, 2008 LOS ANGELES – January 11, 2008 -- THE KINSEY SICKS, the Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet that the New York Times called “the hottest ticket in town,” will bring their critically musical comedy, “CONDOLEEZAPALOOZA” to the Pacific Design Center’s SilverScreen Theater in Los Angeles for an exclusive, one night only performance on Saturday, February 9. 2008. Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster (213) 480-3232, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or at a limited amount of tickets at the door. Tickets are $30.00. Show time is 8:00 p.m. For more information on the Kinsey Sicks, visit their website at www.kinseysicks.com. Combining award-winning a cappella singing, biting wit, over-the-top drag and a smidge of Jewish angst, THE KINSEY SICKS have been called “one of the more uniquely original (and thoroughly fun and entertaining) acts we have encountered in years” (Billboard Magazine) and have been praised for their "voices sweet as birdsong" (New York Times) and called "Outrageous, Marvelous, Hilarious” (Chicago Tribune). Their Off-Broadway show, "Dragapella!" at the legendary Studio 54 in New York City was called "riotously funny" and "sublime" (Variety), and earned them a Drama Desk Award nomination for Best Lyrics and two Lucille Lortel nominations, including for Best Musical of 2001. In Condoleezzapalooza, we learn that The Kinsey Sick have been singing a cappella ever since they were left in the lurch by their piano player, Condoleezza, who left them for some “better” gig. Sick of life on the road yet unable to afford to quit, our four heroines hurl blame at each other liked chipped beef at a cafeteria food fight. But mostly, Condoleezzapalooza provides a setting for The Kinsey Sicks to perform some of their most outrageous and political material – both original songs and wicked parodies – all in gorgeous 4-part harmony. THE KINSEY SICKS have been profiled on national television in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan, including ABC, CBS and the NBC, and were the subjects of a lengthy cover feature in the arts section of the New York Times. They were recognized by The Hollywood Reporter as a breakout hit at the 2002 Montreal Comedy Festival and starred in the feature film “I Want To Be A Republican.” They headlined in Las Vegas in 2006 with the sit-down version of Dragapella at the Las Vegas Hilton. They have recorded five CDs: “Dragapella,” “Boyz 2 Girlz,” “Sicks in the City,” “I Want To Be A Republican” and “Oy Vey in a Manger: Christmas Carols and Other Jewish Music.”
