RuPaul’s Drag Race season 4 winner Sharon Needles performed in her hometown of Pittsburgh on Monday night with a topical new piece, recreating Kathy Griffin’s controversial photo, complete with a fake, bloodied, decapitated blonde-haired head, while miming to Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll.” According to Worlds of Wonder, she said “It’s kind of mind boggling the levels to this story, that a female comic in this day and age, who was a friend of Joan Rivers, and who was on Celebrity Apprentice with our president, is subjected to this type of abuse. I mean… if only Joan was still around. And the fact that we don’t hold our male politicians to the same standard as female comedians is shocking.” You can watch video of that performance below.
If you were wondering, apparently the head was an Owen Wilson mask with a Joan Rivers wig.
