Comedian Lea DeLaria begins monthly residency at Stonewall Inn

The Stonewall Inn jumped with jazz tunes and much-needed silly fun on Nov. 9 as comedian Lea DeLaria kicked off her monthly residency, which will take place on the second Sunday of every month. DeLaria's residency will feature different themes — the first one was "Bachelor Party" because DeLaria is getting married to Dalia Gladstone — and the show opened with a rendition of "Get Me to Church on Time" accompanied by her versatile musical duo Arcoiris Sandoval and Marco Panascia. In addition to DeLaria's usual side-splitting lesbian and Trump-bashing humor, the celebration also featured an "ask the pregnant lesbian" segment with Celine Robinson and Gladstone and Jazzul Mercelino served as go-go dancers. Alina Acker led a hysterical reverse strip tease, while Emma Myles of "Orange is the New Black" delivered entertainment throughout as the comical side of Nurse Ratchet. Best man Jessie Tyler Ferguson sent a video greeting and Stonewall ultimate DJ Chauncey Dandridge kept the show dancing.
