"The Tranny Roadshow goes a step further. OK, a few steps..." Bill O'Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper What is the Tranny Roadshow? It is... "...an edgy celebration of gender variant artists."
Bay Area Reporter "...an intelligently diverse vision of identity ... demonstrate(s) just how rewarding and fun the exploration of selfhood can be." Emily Brochin, Philadelphia Weekly “…a tumble of energy and delight and a little chaos.” Grady Challis “…on the front lines of a war of sexual identity, a liberating fight that benefits even the straightest of the straight. Unlike most battlegrounds, however, this one can be a fun eye-opener…” Keith Axline, The San Francisco Bay Guardian “…brilliantly dynamic … dissecting and detailing the multitudes of ways gender can unfold” Michael Munson, Queer Life News "...a terrific performance ... moving, fascinating, and often hilarious" West Village Voice |

What are people saying
about the Tranny Roadshow?
“They all look so damned young. Yet between the wealth of talent and the multicultural experience each of these performers brings to the Tranny Roadshow's table, we'd say they're ancient and wise, attacking queer and transgender subjects in a ramshackle DIY fashion.” A.D. Amorosi, Philadelphia City Paper "Tackling transgender and queer issue results in either tiresome discourse or explosive humanistic art. Kelly Shortandqueer and Jamez Terry, nationally recognized zine writer and archivist, are on the latter tip with their roving Tranny Roadshow, a beehive of jugglers, flickering lights, stomp and spoken-word locked on the nationwide DIY circuit. On a quest to educate and entertain "where the expression of gender and the expression of self are inseparable," each stop is venue-specific, steeped in audience interaction and hell-bent on inciting laughter and thought equally." Eric Weddle, The Independent “What do youthful enthusiasm, rabbit guts, debutantes, $1 million in insurance money, and opera have to do with gender identity? You have to see it to believe it. Check out the Tranny Roadshow” Scott Turner Schofield |
