Actor Leslie Jordan and Del Shores Team Up for a Special Fun-Raiser for AID Atlanta

A fabulous one-night only collection of stand-up and stories from Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan and acclaimed author/comedian Del Shores

Leslie Jordan, longtime guest and character actor who had a recurring role on Will & Grace as Beverly Leslie and currently guest-starring in American Horror Story: Coven teams up with his longtime friend Del Shores, award-winning playwright, author and director of Sordid Lives and more recently, Southern Baptist Sissies, for a one-night special engagement to support AID Atlanta.

Jordan, who also starred in Sordid Lives and Southern Baptist Sissies, and Shores are longtime friends, collaborators and mischief-makers in bawdy humor.  According to a release, "these two generous gentlemen are donating their time and appearances for one night to raise money for AID Atlanta."

This is the first time the two have appeared together on stage in more than five years – a can’t-miss event.
