In this episode, we are talking with the delightful and inhumanely talented David Saffert!

David is also Liberace tribute artist who performs with Jillian Snow Harris (as Liza Minnelli), and Bo Ayars (Liberace’s actual Music Director from 1973-1985). Together they have performed at Feinstein’s at the Nikko in San Francisco, Broadway Rose Theatre, CoHo Theatre, and Tony Starlight’s Showroom in Portland, and special television appearances in Liberace’s own Las Vegas mansion!
