Joan Rivers Entertains at 25th Folsom Leather Week!


When I think of Leather, the first person I think of Joan Rivers .. “Ohhhh Can We Talk”. Just kidding, the queen of funny will bring her trademark humor to San Francisco when she headlines the entertainment scheduled for the world famous Folsom Street Gala.

The gala will help to kick off San Francisco Leather Week, Sept. 20-28. The week offers a range of social, artistic, historic and cultural activities.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Joan Rivers as our entertainment," said Andy Copper, president of the Folsom Street Events board of directors. "We are both ecstatic and just a little frightened to witness Joan Rivers in the same room with 350 members of the leather community."

Formal attire is mandatory, although "formal" might not be what you first think. Dress leather and high-fashion kink wear qualify, according to Folsom Street Events executive director Demetri Moshoyannis.

"The gala is the first of its kind for us," he said. "We've never produced a formal event, so we are anticipating a superb turnout."

The formal gala will take place in the Regency Center's Sutter Room. Included in the ticket price is a specially designed menu from Small Potatoes and an open bar. Selected pieces from the GLBT Historical Society's exhibit 25 Years of Folsom Street Fair will be on display.

Tickets may be purchased online.
