You know how Grey Gardens -- the 1970s documentary about shut-ins Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, who were the aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis -- is a cult favorite among the homosexuals?

Frameline 29: Kiki and Herb on the Rocks

Hey, you know that cabaret-drag performance duo, Kiki and Herb? Oh, you don't? Well, then, you might not really care for and Penn & Teller. (Thx to friend-of-SFist Jessie for originally making that spot-on comparison.) Loud, boozy Kiki hollers outlandish reimaginings of bizarrely related songs and regales the audience with sordid stories and shocking comments. (Upon being told of a skyscraper in London that's shaped like a pickle, she muses, "let's see them fly an airplane into THAT;" of her sister, dying of cancer, she says, "it humbled her. She's a lot more fun. ... I think more people should get cancer.") Meanwhile, quiet Herb holds things together behind a keyboard, leaking out snippets of songs for Kiki to accompany that slide unpredictably from "Rock to the Boat" to Radiohead's "Creep".
