On July 5, after a season’s absence, Hedda Lettuce returned to Cherry’s and, as expected, triumphed once again. Jizzabella was the DJ.
Hedda held forth about living through the Covid pandemic, in Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico. She had to show up for this show—her understudy got killed. While in lockdown, she came up with the marketing the concept of “seeing-eye queens.” She teased her chihuahua Lupe, in absentia, for getting stoned on a bottle of poppers that someone left near a fire hydrant; Homecoming Queen Davida, for wearing a crown of what Hedda called antlers; and a D.C. Fox News reporter, who was there, because—well, why not?
Hedda seriously flirted with a deep-voiced, mussel-eating nightclub owner—the Tipsy Bear in Berlin and a forthcoming club at 41st Street and Ninth Avenue. She urged him to take her home with him and to give her a job at his new club. She invited his leading lady, Lola Rose, to the stage, to perform “Strange Fruit,” to Audra McDonald’s track from “Lady Day at the Emerson Bar and Grill.” Hedda countered with Dionne Warwick’s “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” “Say a Little Prayer,” and “I Know I’ll Never Love this Way Again.”
Hedda then sang us “No matter what I do tonight, I still get paid;” “Private Dancer,” her tipping song; and “I get so high, I get drunk all the time.”
Catch Hedda at Cherry’s on Mondays at 10 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
