Marty Milquetoast opens The Marty Show by orienting listeners to Savannah’s performance scene, explaining that Club One, a long-running Savannah gay club associated with Lady Chablis, is closed as of June 2026 while awaiting renovations for a move, and noting Savannah Cabaret, a music-and-singing performance group started by producer/author Rick Garman.

In the interview segment, drag and theater performer Sallie Just Sallie describes switching from a culinary major to theater at Armstrong State, starting drag after being encouraged by others, and recalling early performances including choir and a first drag number from Rent. Sallie discusses balancing an 8–5 job, gym, and gigs, why performing is worth the expense and discomfort, and a horror story of forgetting lyrics during a Tina Turner song in a time-traveling drag queen show.

They share Disney celebrity encounters (Tina Fey, Neil Patrick Harris), favorite rewatch Deep Blue Sea, pride in community presence, bookings and Instagram (@salliejustsallie), and upcoming appearances including the Yes Queen tour.

Host Marty Milquetoast introduces The Marty Show, an entertainment podcast, and tells a pun-contest story before interviewing actor and musician Chris Stanley.

Chris describes being inspired by seeing The Boys Next Door at Merrimack Repertory Theatre, playing Daddy Warbucks in middle school, and later returning to theater in high school before switching from painting to performing arts at SCAD. He discusses setbacks including being teased after shaving his head, his first paid post-college gig role-playing for the FBI at the Savannah Airport, time in New York, and feeling like a professional through Savannah Cabaret and Bay Street Theatre.

Chris shares horror stories about noisy set changes during a high school Crucible and entering early in Rent. He spotlights Jinhee Susie Reid and her original show Bella headed to Edinburgh Fringe, answers rapid-fire poll questions, and mentions his Instagram and stage name Topher Cronin.

Host Marty Milquetoast opens episode two of The Marty Show with a monologue answering the question, "Was he in fact forced to start a podcast?".

This week on The Marty Show, we welcome guest Ginger Darlin, a Savannah, Georgia burlesque performer and Savannah’s Best Burlesque Performer for 2025 and 2026.

Ginger describes growing up as an intense dance kid, early recitals and competitions, and feeling like a “real performer” when traveling to the Tulsa Burlesque Festival. She explains why she keeps performing, how she balances a full-time job with gigs, and shares an unbelievable 2017 Juilliard audition. Ginger shouts out Arabica Black, highlights International Black Burlesque Day (May 13), and recommends Bella Sin’s burlesque resources.

In Marty’s poll, she covers snacks, dream venues (New Orleans, Vegas), festival news (Colorado Burlesque Festival, Ohio Burlesque Festival), celebrity encounters with Lisa Ann Walter, and her guiding quote: “Fix your hearts or die.”
