John Epperson: The Artist Principally Known as Lypsinka is a classic entertainment filled with stories, tunes, and a twist. 

Join John Epperson, aka The Goddess of Showbiz Lypsinka, at the piano in a jam-packed musical memoir as he sings, tickles the keys, and ricochets from Sondheim to rap, and from transgender icon Christine Jorgenson to Rodgers and Hammerstein.  

Called "An evening of wonderful music and humor presented by a very talented, classy gentleman," (Times Square Chronicles) this intimate event has been dubbed "A particular treat. Superdiva not required!" (The New York Times)
