RANDY RAINBOW FULL
Was there a moment where you decided that, “If I’m going to write a book, I need to tell that part of the story to tell my full story”? And if so, when was that moment in the process for you?įrom the beginning, I had every intention of being as vulnerable and as real as I could muster. I was certainly more raw than I’ve ever been before publicly. I’m glad I got on the Zoom today, because that’s really nice to hear and I appreciate that. I have a real appreciation for the fact that you went to some complex and complicated places. So the book: You are extremely vulnerable in it, and I just want to tell you that I appreciate you sharing intimate parts of your life with us.
I see it as a Barry Manilow/Liberace kind of thing. They haven’t learned consent, apparently. In addition to LGBTQ+ fans, you’ve got a lot of mom fans. If we were out having a couple of drinks, I probably would be singing constantly and you would tell me to shut up. Why would you just sing? Perhaps because you’ve built a career on it, I don’t know. Everyone thinks I’m a lunatic who bursts into song. Why would I just sing? See, this is the fake news on me. I was talking to a friend about interviewing you and he said, “Will he sing?” 10, Rainbow spoke about his many mom fans, giving people real reasons to hate him, and the “vulnerable places” he went to while writing this book. We meet Nanny, his adoring late grandmother we go back to the video that launched his viral career, when he pretend-called Mel Gibson we learn about his comedy-meets-Broadway origins and how it became a full-blown career, earning him three Emmy nominations and famous fans such as Patti LuPone and even, yes, Carol Burnett.īefore he launched his summer tour, which stops in Grand Rapids at the DeVos Performance Hall on Sept. “I was getting ready to take a bubble bath,” he said, “but I’m happy to be with you.”Īt the time of our interview in April, Rainbow was making his press rounds to chat about his debut memoir, “ Playing with Myself.” The humanizing book recounts his life growing up as an imaginative and misunderstood boy, before he became known for his playful digs at right-wing figures, reworking famous Broadway songs to poke at the sheer insanity of those making really terrible political decisions. “I’m throwing my team the hell under the bus,” he joked on camera, after jumping on Zoom last minute when he was reminded of our interview, which was “on everyone’s calendar but mine.” And this time, it’s not with Marjorie Taylor Greene. There are far worse things happening in the world, clearly, but political-parody sensation Randy Rainbow does have a bone to pick with some folks.
