There’s something both riotous and heartfelt about “Baloney,” San Francisco’s beloved gay all-male revue. On one hand, it’s sexually charged, provocative, and at times even sleazy. On the other, it’s tapping into some fundamental truths about the gay experience and the ways in which queer and gay men relate to one another. Directed with a sensitive eye by Joshua Guerci, this humorous and insightful documentary invites you into a world unto itself that has withstood the tests of time because of the passion of its creators, and the need for something so unique and specifically San Francisco. A hit at both Frameline and Outfest, it’s a film that takes what you think you know about drag and burlesque and turns it on its head...usually with a lot of glitter, and a smattering of sex.
