Got a Girl Crush On: Thu Tran

I saw Thu perform last night at the Everything Is Terrible screening in Brooklyn. She adorably made “doughnuts” out of rolled-up hunks of white-bread dipped in the likes of strawberry-kiwi kool-aid, emergen-c and marshmallow fluff, and even beef ramen spice all the while narrating the steps on an echoing microphone.

**note the ingenious mac laptop set-up with photobooth projected onto the screen behind her for a maximum learning experience–she’s holding up a slice of bread for the camera**

Everything seemed sweet and innocent, but then she shaved a stuffed dog that was full of hotdogs…

Which gives greater insite to her twisted and hilarious Pee-wee’s Playhouse meets whacked-out public access art project, Food Party. 

“Food Party is a mind-bending, non-reality cooking show with Thu Tran as your hostess, a cast of unruly puppets as culinary aides, and a cavalcade of fictitious celebrities as surprise dinner guests.”

In this episode learn how to make deviled eggs with the devil for “Yolko Ono.”

Eggcellent!
