MY TRIP DOWN THE PINK CARPET makes its only Ohio stop at the Southern Theatre for one night only on Monday, June 16 at 8:00 P.M. Tickets are on sale now at www.ticketmaster.com or the theatre box office at (614) 469-0939.  Specific information on the show’s tour schedule can be found at www.thelesliejordan.com. 

Best known for his Emmy award winning portrayal of Beverley Leslie, the irascible nemesis to Karen Walker on Will & Grace, the diminutive dynamo is in the midst of a banner year of exciting, new career achievements.   His sassy, one-of-a-kind Southern branded humor and innate storytelling abilities has brought Jordan legions of fans through his memorable performances on stage, television and film.  He has registered memorable guest stints on such well known series as Boston Legal, Ugly Betty, Reba, and Murphy Brown.  Equal acclaim has come from Jordan’s hilarious yet poignant and humane portrayals on stage and film. His most enduring turn as “Brother Boy” in the hit cult film classic Sordid Lives, as well as his one-man autobiographical stage renderings“Like a Dog on Linoleum” and “Hysterical Blindness and other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far,” have hailed Jordan with well deserved accolades for his unique voice and talent. 

Jordan’s new stage work is based upon his most recent creative endeavor as a published author.  Jordan has taken feathered plume to hand to commit to pages (and the Ages) his first book, which bears the same title as the current stage show MY TRIP DOWN THE PINK CARPET.  Both are autobiographical compilations of witticisms and wisdoms he has collected along his often turbulent yet touching life course.  TRIP is saturated with star encounters as well; show biz legends CLORIS LEACHMAN and FAYE DUNAWAY along with co-stars RUE McCLANAHAN, BOY GEORGE, PAUL HOGAN, MARK HARMON, BEVERLY D’ANGELO and current screen legend GEORGE CLOONEY make his written journey a true “cause célèbre” and are mixed in with his encounters with a colorful assortment of family, friends and bands of “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” all of whom Jordan is more than willing to “Cher”.   The show was recently hailed in New York as a ‘tour de force”.

Whether it’s Jordan or the namesake of the theatre (and most aptly both), suffice it say, the South will be rising again!
