Candied Camera LIVE!
Created by Nora Burns and Adam Pivirotto
Directed and Edited by Adam Pivirotto
Choreographed by Robin Carrigan
Candied Camera LIVE! Is a celebration of Nora Burns “legendary” (her word) early 90’s public access show. Filmed in a makeshift TV studio that doubled as a sex club, and watched by tens of people who happened to be awake at 3am on a Tuesday, Candied Camera joined the pantheon of fabled cable shows by Andy Warhol, Robin Byrd, Al Goldstein and Mrs Mouth. To mark the show’s 30th Anniversary and jump on the 1990’s nostalgia bandwagon, Burns is bringing back her “iconic” (her word) cable show complete with a potpourri of original clips, documentary footage, special guests, forced appearances, legendary performances, celebrity cameos, vintage pornography and, of course, go-go dancers.
Cast :
Chuck Blasius, Kevin Herzog, David Ilku, Ricky Roman, Royston Scott, Fiona St James, Richard E Waits
Plus Surprise Celebrity Cameos!

Background:
Back in the early 1990’s, during the Golden Age of Manhattan Public Access cable TV, Nora Burns hosted and produced a variety show called Candied Camera. Filmed bimonthly at the Gay Cable Network studio/sex club, the show was a crazy quilt of downtown doings, featuring saucy skits, in-studio performances (Varla Jean Merman Cheese-whiz anyone?), interviews with personalities from Marc Jacobs and RuPaul to Candis Cayne and Joey Arias, and of course lots of go-go boys and drag queens. Themes of the over 35 shows, which have been archived at NYU’s Fales library include Gay Pride, the 9th Circle, Dead Friends, Old Porn, Cable Madness, Dress Up and Domination.
Guests on the original show include:
Joey Arias, RuPaul, Hilton Als, Michael Musto, Marc Jacobs, Candis Cayne, Jennifer Coolidge, Taylor Mead, Lypsinka, Tama Janowitz, Sarah Schulman, Charles Busch, John Kelly, Julie Halston and many more
Candied Camera LIVE! Is a tongue in chic variety show (think The Comeback meets Spinal Tap) with guests, monologues, a multi media mix of video clips and, of course, go-go boys. Directed and edited by Adam Pivirotto, and choreographed by Robin Carrigan (the team behind The Village! A Disco Musical)
