Cabaret artists Kiki and Herb tour for the holidays with the new show ‘O Come Let Us Adore Them.’ (Photos by Eric McNatt) Let’s have a Kiki Holidays get unhinged with cabaret legends Kiki and Herb RICH LOPEZ | Staff writer rich@dallasvoice.com This is the night.
Mx Justin Vivian Bond and Kenny Mellman are back in Dallas for one night only bringing their new holiday show O Come Let Us Adore Them to the Granada Theater.
But you might know them by their cabaret monikers Kiki and Herb. These queer icons have been delivering unhinged booziness and irreverence to the masses for more than 20 years with their cabaret characters. “Kiki & Herb” are the creations of Bond and Mellman.
Kiki is a washed-up, boozed-up chanteuse with a glorious voice that recalls Tom Waits and Ethel Merman. Herb is her enabling lifelong emotional support accompanist.
