Randy Rainbow Gets Grammy Nom, Up Against Dave Chapelle & Louis CK
Randy Rainbow has received a Grammy nomination for his first full-length studio album, A Little Brains, a Little Talent.Rainbow is known for his parodies of show tunes and pop classics, and his work often carries a political message — although he has told The Advocate his primary goal is to make people laugh.
A Little Brains, a Little Talent includes such political satires as “Clang, Clang, Clang Went Josh Hawley,” “If Donald Got Fired” (featuring Broadway icon Patti LuPone), and “Mr.
Biden, Bring My Vaccine.”The nomination is in the category of Best Comedy Album, where Rainbow is alongside some controversial competition.
Dave Chappelle, criticized for transphobic material in his Netflix special The Closer, is nominated for the album version of that special.
