Michael Bowen, the man behind Bertha Mason is on today’s show to talk about what makes this Hausfrau of the Heartland tick. Michael shares with us the story about how Bertha came to life and how he channels all his passions into one career- cooking, comedy and queening it up.

Join Bertha Friday November 13th in Chicago at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for a memorable evening of meatloaf, tuna noodle casserole and a rainbow assortment of jell-o salads.

The evening includes cooking lessons, glittery Jesus crafts and the rockin’ polka beat of Queer as Polka. Cindy Sunday from the Best Church of God will be on hand to praise the lord and try to stop the kids from eating paste.

Also in the news:

Genetically engineered rabbit parts.

Soon to be extinct cuddly Koala Bears.

And video bloggers are taken to task for not talking about marriage equality. What responsibility do famous gays have when it comes to fighting for equal rights?

    Here’s to the CAKE revolution. “Let them eat (wedding) cake.” Great marriage equality slogan. Thanks for a great show. Awesome guest.

    wish I could go to one of her shows! sounds like it would be a lot of fun to see. having food while watching a show of some kind is always enjoyable IMO.

    why you gotta keep hatin’ on the cupcakes tho Fausto? some can be very delicious..like ones that aren’t just plain…kinds that come in an assortment of flavors are delicious. when i’m in Austin they have this cupcake stand at the Farmer’s Market that sells a tasty assortment of different flavored cupcakes that i get and stuff my face full of em.

    I am quite looking forward to eating pumpkin pie when I come home for thanksgiving though. pumpkin flavored anything is quite delicious actually.

    LOVE Bertha. I’m not normally a fan on Drag Queens, but i could really get into her :D

    The idea of having a new penis surgically attached just seems creepy to me, not to mention the scarring.
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for Genetic engineering. With natural selection more or less gone in humans i think it’s time we started artificially guiding our evolution.

    BTW, I didn’t mean any offense with my comment about Mark & El Nino. I hope it wasn’t interpreted that way. I luv Mark. :D

    Who wouldn’t love a Drag Show where you get to eat? Bertha is a treat. I also agree with Chicken Girl, Why oh why does Fausto have to hate on the cupcake so much. I love them! I also love cakes and pies. I do not discriminate against any form of desert.

    LOVE Bertha! I was at the show he talks about where the #2 Bachelors were going at it… they were making quite a scene! I also got the play Win, Lose or Drink with Bertha a few weeks later. She’s a treasure, that one… and her baked goods are AMAZING!!!! Loved the show guys!!! ;-)
