The QueerCentric

Author, comedian, playwright and actor, this is a man who does it all. But right now he's changing theater in some pretty awesome ways. He's doing episodic theater! Ravenswood Manor is your high camp, murderous mystery theater you've waited for. Tune in for more on this new idea and Justin himself.

Musician, creator and inspirational human being Stewart Taylor is in the studio today. We chat about his new single "Mess Up Your Hair" but also so much more as he offers sound advice to us all.  His new single made Queer.com’s Top 10 Songs of the Summer. 

Today's guest stars in the candy coated horror series Crazy Bitches as the philandering spa attendant looking for a “deeper” connection with every woman he meets. He is already a bonafide star of film and television in his own country of France and has now set his sights on us in the U.S. and I don’t know about you but I couldn’t feel luckier. Here to talk to us about Crazy Bitches and some new films on the horizon we are proud to welcome my vote for the next sexiest man alive, Karl E Landler

Creator, director, producer and outright entertainer, Jane Clark is the guest we're exited for this week. She's a self starter and never takes no for an answer. That's now she came up with and created Crazy Bitches. It's your typical comedy horror show except that it's not typical at all. Filled with depth, great acting and a great story, it's no wonder season two just premiered. We'll chat about it all with Jane Clark!

Thanks to Sportsmens Lodge for their continued support of The Martini Lounge. 

Our next guest hails from good old Canada. He’s been in LA for about 2 years and he’s already made the TimeOut LA list of comedians to watch in 2019. His comedy has also landed him not one, not two, but three appearances at the Just For Laughs gala. Now we’re here to chat about that same comedy, and maybe ask a few questions about LA, we welcome Matt O'Brien.

Big thanks to the Sportsmans Lodge for their support on the Martini Lounge. 

It’s no secret that Sergey and I are big fans of improv.  My love affair began with our next guest who starred in a show called “Instant Comedy with The Groundlings” on F/X back in 1998, but you probably know her best as Frau Farbissina in the Austin Powers movies. From improv to movies to voice overs, she has never stopped performing.  To talk to us about this and her journey as a working actor we are proud to welcome Mindy Sterling to the Martini Lounge.

He’s entertained us in such films as I Feel Pretty, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus and a whole lot more.  He’s now set to return to series television with the ABC drama “Stumptown” opposite Cobie Smolders and Cameran Manheim. With the upcoming live action remake of Disney’s Lady and the Tramp and the leading role in his own iGilbert, there is a lot to talk about.  So without further adieu we are happy to welcome Adrian Martinez to the lounge.

What does the NFL, Netflix, and a cockapoo named Watson have in common? Our next guest is what they have in common. Yes, he’s the former NFL player for the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs. Yes he’s on Netflix’s “Family Reunion”. And yes, you better believe he has a cockapoo named Watson. His resume is about to get even more interesting with the addition of The Martini Lounge to his credits, so we’re excited to have Anthony Alabi on the show!

Raw, complicated, emotional, and difficult at times these are words that can describe life.  They also perfectly sum up the new movie, After The Wedding starring Julienne Moore, Michelle Williams,, Billy Crudup and our next guest.  Her star is on the rise and this movie is no small part of that.  Now that she has been on our show, I’m guessing Oscar is on the horizon.  Here to spend some time with the boys in the lounge, we are very excited to welcome actress, Abby Quinn.
