Boys just wanna have fun

When Irwin Keller of the Kinsey Sicks isn't singing in drag, he's teaching at the synagogue, writes Katrina Lobley.

By day, he's a highly unconventional lay rabbi. By night, Irwin Keller breaks even more rules, dressing in nerdy drag to sing, rather than lip-sync, everything from sassy doo-wop to stinging satirical songs.

Keller - and the rest of his "dragapella quartet", the Kinsey Sicks - are visiting Australia for the first time to join this year's Mardi Gras line-up. The quartet has taken aim at everything from George Bush and Republican politics - "Obama was definitely bad for the comedy industry," Keller says - to inane television news broadcasters. Their latest show includes original songs and parodies of pop's biggest stars - think Britney Spears and Beyonce.
