Varla Jean Merman taps Taylor Swift with ‘Errors Tour’ in New Orleans: Here’s when, where.
Citing inspiration from Taylor Swift, drag legend Varla Jean Merman sets her sights on New Orleans for her own special blend of cabaret with “Varla Jean: The Errors Tour.”
Two performances of the show are planned at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20-21 at Café Instanbul, 2372 St. Claude Ave.
The performance personae of Jeffery Roberson, Varla Jean “takes you through the Taylor Swift catalogue and creates some hilarious hits and egregious errors” in a show proclaimed to be a “tour-de-farce certain to be an unforgivable, er, unforgettable evening of ‘Varla’s Version’ of entertainment.”
Catering to her cadre of fans, called “The Mermies,” the larger-than-life, self-proclaimed “ditzy diva” blends classic elements from the Varla Jean pantheon, as well as the signature giant wigs and “overtaxed costumes.”
