Randy Rainbow Returns (If He’s Not Interned…) In June!

December 16, 2024• byMichael Strangeways

Everyone but the people he makes fun of’s favorite gay musical satirist will (hopefully) return to Seattle’s Paramount Theatre on Saturday, June 7th. And, I say “hopefully” with a weak laugh meaning it’s a “joke” but who knows what the fuck the incoming fascist regime is going to do with anyone on its Enemies of the State List? I’d normally insert my “I keed, I keed” comment here, but with these fuckers….shudders.

Anyway, I digress from my promotion of Mr. Rainbow’s upcoming tour and stop in Seattle where in the past he has proven to be a popular attraction for his witty, sly, satirical musical jabs at mostly political figures who need a good jabbing…because they’re some combination of stupid, evil, greedy, corrupt, senile, and probably streakily orange. You know who you are…

Randy Rainbow is a four-time EMMY® and GRAMMY®-nominated American comedian, producer, actor, singer, writer, satirist, host, and New York Times bestselling author known for his popular web series, The Randy Rainbow Show. His debut memoir, Playing with Myself received rave reviews by such venerable outlets as The LA TIMES, which noted that Rainbow “vividly recollects the alienation so many LGBTQ+ youth experience.” Musical theater was an escape for Rainbow that ultimately helped catapult his career. His musical parodies and political spoofs have garnered him worldwide acclaim and four consecutive EMMY® nominations for Outstanding Short-Form Variety Series.
Rainbow (yes, that’s his real name) enjoys a star-studded fan base which regularly shares his work. Some notable admirers include Ryan Reynolds, Carol Burnett, John Legend, Mark Hamill, Hillary Clinton, Stephen Sondheim, Jane Lynch, Ana Navarro, Barry Manilow, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Rosie O’Donnell, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Steve Martin and Martin Short.
