Erin Markey scoops up a sold out Joe's Pub audience, teases them and finally rolls them up in to a soft gum ball and while smieling eats it

Why she is not a Broadway Star baffles me. Why VICE has not given her a chat show baffles me. Ellen DeGeneres meet you "bad" sister ... Markey gives new meaning to the phrase "FemmeTop"

well downtown she is a superstar.. here is a peek why .. its adult humor by the way ...

OH BOY ... "Real Girl" DIVAS in DUETS Erin Markey and Emily Bate at Greenwich House !!

OH BOY .. you bet I am going to see these two "real girl " divas battle for the gold ring ... or should I just say .. DUETS is not to be missed ..sisterhood is powerful!  and rumor has it that Barbra knows all about it .. who knows what could happen?

Erin Markey and Emily Bate continue to explore their onstage vocal chemistry and offstage twenty-four-hour-a-day buddy comedy performance project in a night of duets. Inspired by listening to Barbra Streisand's album Duets on long drives to their shared homeland of Michigan and vocally training to become the red-blooded sopranos they never accepted they always were, Bate and Markey imprint the weird romance of their 15 year long friendship onto the hetero-camp tradition of the duet. Some of the angels guiding their way include Kid Rock, humiliating sex, Linda Ronstadt, Celine Dion, their obsession with their parents, and their own composer selves. They are accompanied by a full band.
