The stage was covered in red curtains with a circus-style backdrop. Buzz took the stage in a cream-colored floral dress with a large pink ruffled collar, red gloves, red stockings, black platform boots and a veiled hat. Shipp was behind the drums in a white shirt and dark pants, with red and pink ribbons tied around his drum kit.
Following an opening monologue, Haute & Freddy opened with “Anti-Superstar,” and the crowd went crazy. Fans sang along word for word as Buzz moved across the stage and Shipp pounded away on the drums.
They went right into “Fashion Over Function,” with the crowd dancing and singing along. Buzz joked with the crowd throughout the night and went down to the barricade to interact with fans. The duo was joined during several songs by two performers from the Fou Fou Ha! performance collective. Dressed in elaborate clown costumes and makeup, they danced alongside Buzz.
During “Scantily Clad,” fans were given props and danced alongside Buzz. Later, Buzz sang “Happy Birthday” to one fan and made up a song for a queer/transgender fan at the barricade. Buzz showed off her powerful voice during “Showgirl at Heart,” from Big Disgrace. The crowd danced, sang and yelled along to “Dance the Pain Away.” They followed with “Touch Touch,” their newest song and first release since Big Disgrace.
Their set seemed to fly by. It went quickly, but it never felt rushed. The audience ate up every moment they were onstage.
