A balding, Caucasian 64-year-old drag queen from South Africa, satirist and performance artist Pieter-Dirk Uys has been dubbed a national treasure in his homeland, hobnobbing with the likes of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, and imitating both men onstage with untethered mockery. He’s in Los Angeles through October 11 to perform his show Elections Erections, which opened on Sunday at UCLA’s Glorya Kaufman Hall (see New Reviews). It’s at REDCAT on Friday night, then at the Gay and Lesbian Center on Saturday and Sunday.
