The national love for Seattle treasure Dina Martina continues to pour in, most recently in a gushy blog post by former New Repulbic editor and currrent Time writer Andrew Sullivan:

For the last two summers, performance-artist/drag-queen/comic genius Dina Martina has been playing in Provincetown. For what it’s worth, I’ve seen a lot of shows in Ptown over the last couple of decades and I’ve never seen anything as brilliant or as funny as Dina. This summer, my fiance and I saw her show seven times in nine weeks. Like all great comedy—Monty Python and South Park spring to mind—it gets funnier the more you experience it.

I have never seen Dina but how can you go wrong with drag queens? If this wasn't recommended by Andrew Sullivan i might actually want to see a show. (Why Dan is BFF with him i'll never know but i digress).

Dina Martina is not a drag queen. Trust me on this one.

Mark's right, Dina Martina is a drag queen like Laurie Anderson is a stand-up comedian.
