It's Too Sweet

Mummy P. kept saying she didn't like that Thai Iced Tea because it was too sweet, but she drank it all anyway and Plotnik, who had ordered it, didn't get any.

If you've never seen Marga Gomez perform her one-woman shows, what are you waiting for? "Not Getting Any Younger" opened last night at the SF Marsh and runs Thu-Sun through October. Plottie sat in back of a certain Bird Wrap Theater Reviewer (yes, he uses a pen with a little light on it and shields his neighbors from the light with the back of his hand), and he and his wife were in hysterics too.

Much of the show is about Marga's mom. Moms seem to be on all our minds these days -- Marga Gomez has already done two solo shows about hers, and the segment in "Not Getting any Younger" about Máma Gomez and the Chubby Checker Twist Contest is a classic.

Plotnik's show about his mom would have to be called "It's Too Sweet. (Slurp.)"
