Lypsinka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lypsinka (real name: John Epperson) is a New York based drag queen who lip-synchs to meticulously edited show-length soundtracks culled from snippets of outrageous 20th-century female performances in movies and song. Lypsinka has appeared in evening-length solo shows Off-Broadway, including The Boxed Set and As I Lay Lip-Synching. [citation needed] Born in Mississippi. This artist is a frequent performer at Wigstock, and in his early career performed often at the legendary Pyramid Club. [citation needed] Epperson has also performed an autobiographical solo cabaret show, "Show Trash," out of drag, talking and singing in his own voice. [citation needed]
In Winter 2004, Epperson as Lypsinka played the role of the Wicked Step-Mother in the New York City Opera's revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella in a cast with Eartha Kitt, Dick van Patten and fellow Wigstock veteran Renee Taylor. [citation needed]
