The MacBooty Brothers
Description:
The MacBooty Brothers was a performance duo created by Western Front co-founders Eric Metcalfe and Hank Bull. The genesis of the group was inspired by the 1940s jazz duo Slim & Sam, and later evolved into cowboy drag. Taking on these larger-than-life personas, their performances blended elements of theatre, video, music, broadcasting, and elaborate costumes, all contributing to the MacBooty Brothers' distinctive comedic world.
