Phranc
Phranc can't seem to get Neil Diamond off her back -- or, more precisely, off her chest. For the past four years, fans have implored the 40-year-old singer to bring back "Hot August Phranc," her hilarious drag-king version of the oily crooner, complete with gold lamé shirt revealing spirit-gummed chest hair.
She finally obliged with an August run at Los Angeles's Highways performance space. But nowadays Phranc's Diamond clone (whom she'll include in a nationwide tour this fall) is merely the opening act to her own guitar-accompanied songs. "I'm bringing him back only to serve Phranc," she says.
