The Ziggy Stardust Meets Tiny Tim Songbook, or Comparison is Violence
Taylor Mac, USA
Sorry this event has been and gone
The gloriously larger-than-life ukelele-playing,
gender-bending Taylor Mac makes his New Zealand debut with the
wonderfully mind-blowing The Ziggy Stardust Meets Tiny Tim
Songbook, or Comparison is Violence.
International sensation Taylor Mac, making his New Zealand
debut, has drawn from the traditions of drag and performance art to
create a unique style that combines dramatic flair, searing satire
and poignant honesty.
Taylor Mac's latest show was born after dozens of reviewers
commented that he was a cross between David Bowie's alter ego and
the cult figure Tiny Tim. Being a queen who can take a hint,
Taylor Mac took those reviewers on.
The Ziggy Stardust and Tiny Tim Songbook, or Comparison is
Violence is an engagingly witty conversation about the darker
side of comparison in which Mac sings his way through the entire
Ziggy Stardust album and reinterprets hits from the falsetto-voiced
ukulele player Tiny Tim.

thing...Taylor Mac has the power to persuade as well as
entertain"

"To borrow a Bowie song title, he is a Starman. Wickedly
funny but never malicious, he literally bounces light - and
enlightenment - out into the audience."
