Wish I were alive back then. So many great stars with talent. Charles Pierce was amazing 🤩

[@nylesjohnson3740]

Charles Pierce is/was One in Zillion. I’d drive into The City to see his show at least twice a month over the years..

[@3506Dodge]

"the city!"

[@lohphat]

This was the year I graduated high school. I met Charles 4 years later at Wayland Flowers home after Wayland’s last performance at Studio One Backlot in WeHo.

Dear Charles, he was a fabulous drag queen and entertainer and actor, I will always remember song torch trilogy and birth of nation and is fabulously funny live shows and is Skip E Lowe interviews. You will be sadly missed Charles, I hope in a better place and being funny and still entertaining and a big star. Love and Best Wishes.!. From Craig - London - UK. XxXxX.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was lucky enough to see Charles several times at the Plush Room. To see this show once again is absolutely miraculous. I am a huge fan. There is even a tribute to Charles in my home complete with a mannequin wearing one of his dresses. If there is anyway to get an actual copy of this, I would be more than happy to make an arrangement with you. Thank you again. You have made my day, week, month and year.

[@misham8698]

THX 1KK (Thanks a million) for posting this! The hotel and the Plush Room hold many fond memories for me, who spent weeks every year on business in the city from the ‘70s to the ‘00s. I remember that Charles on occasion called it “the Tush Room at the Yuck Hotel.” My ex and I often enjoyed your wonderful work at L’Étoile, Masons & other venues.

[@BroRobWm]

Peter, thanks so much for providing this! I remember the show and it’s wonderful to see it again.

[@erikdirks]

The most clever and beautiful insider. I love your soul!

[@jeffersonhughes5857]

Hilarious! I love the Tallulah bit. He was such a funny guy and such a talented man.

[@MrBruno656]

I saw him in this era. Another line was: "My boyfriend never calls. He never writes. He just fax me."

[@Angela-zz4zm]

That’s a REAL DREGSHOW - not the garbage on this time

[@StevieWeevie66]

He was trooper. He was dying up there but kept going.

[@davidhennen7045]

Been looking for houses for two years all over New York St. I finally found affordable Victorian homes in Watertown, New York for the last two days. So watching this tonight I decided to WikI, Charles Pearce... He's was born in Watertown, New York...

[@Bronzinium]

It was filmed in 1982.

[@mervinwolf5992]

Back before Height Street and the summer of love. Back before the Castro. A big part of my brief San Francisco experience was Pierce at the Gilded Cage on a swing singing "San Francisco, open your golden gate......" Or is my memory totally inaccurate? Help.

[@BroRobWm]

Quite accurate. I was there, too. Charles was a significant influence in my life as a performer!

[@johnthompson932]

God save the Queen!

[@erikdirks]

I love that you smoke. I smoke in my suit and tie my love!

[@3506Dodge]

AIDS jokes in 1983. He was fearless.

[@withonelook1985]

I love Charles, but Chappaquiddick was nearly 20 years out of date for this show.

[@petermintunmusic]

Good one. Charles would’ve loved that joke.

[@rc5chi539]

I liked Charles but he had a show that never really changed much? a few things got added/updated/taken out but the show was basically always the same? Characters were always the same and the same jokes a couple new ones here and there and if the Celeb was still around or had some type of recent Headline?. For his time period, he was considered at the top of the field and with only one or two other people competing at the time. I give him a lot of credit for doing it at his age and trying to be consistent and relevant. I think he would've been much more successful had he perfected many of his characters and was willing to do a wider range of characters and not always focusing on just a few?. He'll always have a place in LGBT history, he earned it.

[@CliffnDonChappellDuncan]

That's what Bette Midler did. I went to most of her shows and BALLS are there every time!

[@regplate2923]

I wanted to like this, I am certainly old enough but the script is a bit weak in places.

[@JorgeAl]

Who is the last lady?

[@petermintunmusic]

“Glamour Hostess.”

[@JorgeAl]

Peter Mintun thanx!
