special episode it is.  Recorded
live, backstage at the world famous Bay Street Theatre, home club of Lady
Chablis as well as the Savannah Comedy Revue.  This episode was recorded in a short break after a comedy
show and before a wonderful transvestite burlesque show, and what wild and fun
scene it was.  Everyone there was
fun and gracious to be around!  Now, back to class! 
Do any of these luminaries’ students have a heart, and if so, do they
know anything about it???  And

dark, and win themselves the coveted classroom prize, the Golden Banana?
