Who will outsass and out bitch one another to become America"s Next Top Bottom in this improv comedy produced and directed by Efrain Schunior and now playing at the Actor"s Playhouse as part of the New York international Fringe festival. 6 drag queen and Village peoplesque contestants and a hostess (Trina Sugg - a Franzia loving bitchy wisecracker who makes jokes) and her co- host (who asks the contestants in the 3 rd challenge to do the "Jean Benet") make up the cast of this mildly wild search for America"s nest top bottom. A Hair like character, a prebuscent Star Trek Fan with a girly side, Brian Boitano like, Tony Manero Saturday Night Fever like character (my own interpretation), and 2 others costume their way, dance their way, and crack their way to the top (really the bottom). Questions like what makes a good bottom are asked and answered with "soy milk", "sequenced knee pads" .
You the viewer get to vote on the winner at the end and being improv, there is a different show every night. "The 3 challenges remain the same but the lines change every show; it is structured improv," says Schunior, the show"s producer - director. The personas "are extensions of themselves" , he replied when i asked if the characters were based on TV and film personalities.
It is a fun ride.
