And speaking of my friend, Leslie, aside from his recent tour de force appearances on “Will and Grace” and “Boston Public”, he is hitting the road with his hilarious and stunning one-man show, “Like A Dog On Linoleum.” If you live in any of the locales where his tiny toes shall be alighting (they are also adding dates all the time), do yourself a fat fucking favor and get tickets to see him. He is absolutely beyond brilliant. There is no one else like him anywhere.
And I love him madly.
And so, it seems, does everybody else:
