Review

Listening to Sandra Bernhard s CD release of her off-Broadway stage act Everything Bad & Beautiful is like being seated next to a table full of witty socialites at a crowded restaurant. You re just sitting there doing your own thing, and you become swept up in a whirlwind of laughter. You find yourself wanting to be in their group instead of sitting there with your sad lasagna for one. Recorded over two nights at The Daryl Roth Theatre in New York City, Everything Bad & Beautiful contains a hearty handful of live comedy, song-stylings and political satire. Tackling subject matter such as Condoleeza Rice being a sell-out to Bernhard claiming responsibility for Mariah Carey s nervous breakdown, there s something for everyone Rosanne fans and L Word worshipers alike. Bernhard performs with such an on-point conversational tone that it really creates an atmosphere of friendly gossip rather than a theater performance. Her shining moments are when she gets caught up in the punch line and spits out sassy hits like a champ. Hearing her hiss that John Kerry is a big headed, Ronald Regan look-alike m***** just never stops being funny. Having been nestled in domesticity with her long-time companion, Sara, and her daughter Cicely for many years now, Bernhard has not let her home life soften her sharp wit in the slightest. The most rip-roaring bit on the cd revolves around Bernhard discovering e-mail to exchange constant updates with her working girlfriend while stuck at home bored out of her mind, yet faking a busy schedule. It feels good to laugh, and it is liberating to hear someone say things in a way you wish you could say them, to people you wish you could say them to. Bernhard isn t afraid, and she d be the perfect dinner date. (Kelly McClure) --Chill magazine

Sandra Tears Bush a New One By Daniel A. Kusner Life+Style Editor Aug 10, 2006 If you couldn t make the trip to New York s Daryl Roth Theater to check out Sandra Bernhard s latest show, Everything Bad and Beautiful, don t fret. A live album, recorded May 23-24, was recently released ($16.99, Breaking Records Music). It s a must-have for any Bernhard fan. Out of the 21 tracks, the album s fourth Kerry/Laura Bush/Lynn Cheney is by far the most memorable. Still reeling from the 2004 election, Sandra catches up with the women caught in the political spotlight. Bernhard goes off on a scathing rant about our current first lady. During the dawn of her second term, Laura Bush busted out marching into New York City like a grand diva goddess bitch. Hanging out with Oscar de la Renta in his atelier, breezing through Christos Gates in Central Park, taking in fine dining and the museums. The rest of Bernhard s tirade is exquisite. I said, Hold on a minute, sister. You take those two tube-top-wearing, taquito-munching, beer-and-tequila swizzling, Texas Longhorn-hooking daughters and beat it. You are not welcome in our fair city where you pass judgment. You cannot have it both ways. Go back to your people. Listen to Christian broadcast and enjoy a casserole. I cannot believe this woman is as stupid as she pretends to be. Never has a woman brought less to the table than our present woman. She is unbelievable. Forget Eleanor Roosevelt or Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, who brought in Pablo Casals to play in the White House with her gorgeous husband wearing Halston. It was O.T.T. glamour. Pat Nixon in a good cloth coat brought more to the picnic than this broad. And from there, it only gets better. Especially when Bernhard demands to see the Bush twins gynecological records. Daniel A.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! Plus it's a collector's item!, February 11, 2007

By	Jack Franks "JF" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

Sandra Bernhard is unstoppable! There are very few Live albums that can do justice to the perfomance, but "Everything Bad & Beautiful" is one of the best I've heard! Every track packs a punch. Take Sandra's cover of Missy Elliott's "Pussycat" for example, it rocks, enough for you to want to blast it. Along with lots of other great song selections and Sandra's famous take on society, it is Sandra after all! Not to be missed, and it's going out of print, prices will rise!

A great great CD to pop in and just listen to the whole way through. Sandra's social commentary, voice, and humor are electric the whole way through. In my opinion her best CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars If I could give it 6 stars, I would!, July 25, 2007

By	Lloyd Boston "Lloyd Boston" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I laughed from start to finish. It made me think. Get misty. Sandra is at her very best. She has grown up, smoothed out, and knows her audience better than any performance artist/comedian around. Her pulse on politics and the icons of pop culture make her ripe for a talk show--tomorrow! I play it for just about every friend that stops by, and listen to it on my ipod when days get dreary. Brava!!!
