A lunch lady, a drag queen, the 2005 winner of the Main Squeeze award at the San Francisco Accordion Festival — what's not to love? With her flying fingers, voluminous babushka, and giant Dame Edna sunglasses (not to mention quite a padded booty), Kielbasia has keyed into our primal longing for Polish, or possibly Ukrainian, old-world wit and charm, delivered in drag, on cue, anywhere we want. A ubiquitous stage performer, night owl, and even children's party entertainer, Kielbasia wields her wheezer with snazzy aplomb and never stoops to the base vulgarity so common of drag queens these days (although her Martha Stewart and Julia Child musical tributes certainly don't pull any punches). Sprung from the mind of Matthew Worszylo, this astounding creature appears regularly at Martuni's piano bar, and believe us, you'll know her when you see her. "Roll out the barrel" never saw such interpretation.
