Peter Tork and Quentin Crisp, hosts of the 9th annual Beyond Vaudeville stage show in New York City on April 19, 1990. Footage of the event can be seen here.
“[The Ninth Annual Beyond Vaudeville Stage Show is] produced by the creators of Beyond Vaudeville, Cable-TV’s talk show from hell, and hosted by ex-Monkee Peter Tork and author Quentin Crisp (a match made in Limbo), the affair features ‘Female Elvis’ Dee Back, ‘nose-whistler’ nonpareil Jim Grosso and other offbeat acts B.V. fans have come to know and tolerate. Tickets are $3, with proceeds going to the Coalition for the Homeless.” - Daily News, April 18, 1990
“Peter Tork looked like a long shot to host a live Beyond Vaudeville Show in 1990 so as we got closer to the date and didn't hear back from him we went ahead and booked Quentin Crisp. When Peter came through we asked them if they would cohost together. Quentin, of course, readily agreed, as he did with pretty much everything. Peter wasn’t familiar with Quentin but agreed to cohost and the two ended up having a great time together. Asked 25 years later what he most remembered about that evening, Peter immediately replied ‘That woman who did the Underdog dance.’” - Beyond Vaudeville, Instagram, February 13, 2023 [x]

Episode 568: Rich Brown
Beyond Vaudeville is a perfect time capsule. It’s a pre-internet era, when public access provided a rare outlet for entertainers. As Frank Hope, Rich Brown was the neurotic calm in the storm.
Along with stoic sidekick David Greene, the pair held together a 30-minute variety show that paired celebrities with outsider entertainers for a decade.
In 1997, the show was reborn as Oddville, MTV, which managed to revive some of the magic, in a more formal format that partnered gen x names with buzzbin bands.
Brown has maintained a high profile show business career in the intervening decades, appearing as a Daily Show contributor and producing shows like Fear Factor and the Jay Leno hosted, You Bet Your Life.
