7/21: Bonaduce bonanza
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former “Partridge Family” wiseguy Danny Bonaduce, now 47, revels in the fact he’s a publicity whore, a man who will do anything for camera time, even if it has meant boxing (and beating) Barry Williams (Greg Brady) on a Fox reality show or better yet, revealing his problematic behavior on VH1’s “Breaking Bonaduce,” where he shot up steroids, went into jealousy fits and drank like a fish before hitting rehab.
And if you couldn’t get enough of him on TV, he’s at the Funny Farm this weekend ($27.50 at 770-817-HAHA), including two shows tonight at 8 and 10:30 p.m. The man, who currently co-hosts a syndicated radio show with Adam Carolla, does a standup-like show featuring slides and video clips accompaneid by his snarky commentary and stories. You may have heard the time he beat up a transvestite who he thought was a woman or seen him knock out the Brady, but it’s still fun to see him recount these stories live.
He opened his late show Friday by spying a woman with a camera phone and having her come on stage. He then stripped off his shirt and posed with her. Even without the ‘roids, he’s in good shape. Then he made fun of the Mike Vick flipping-off moment by flipping off another guy with a camera phone (all in good fun of course.)
As for Vick, “I’ve had more felony counts in one afternoon than this [expletive] has had in his whole life!” In fact, he noted that he graduated from a special actor-heavy high school with Michael Jackson and Christian Brando. “It’s ironic that I’m the one who has the best reputation!”
Bonaduce dealt with a possible drunk or simply off-kilter fan who kept yelling at him with grace and humor, even when she began singing “Come on, make me happy,” a twist on the “Partridge Family” theme. His retort was a bit too dirty for me to print here but it did include, “Even in your [expletive] condition, I’m that good.”
For good measure, he mocked Todd Bridges, Corey Feldman and Dustin Diamond. Oh, and his therapist’s bad Botox job. At the end, he places a dog collar on himself for a Q & A session he dubbed “cattle prod” and asked fans to shock him if he doesn’t answer a question honestly or in an entertaining enough fashion. The questioners were pretty good Friday night, including one sharp gal asking him about whether he has any STDs. He said he had VD in the ’70s but it was resolved. Good to know, eh?
Here he is after Friday’s late show hangin’ with the fans:
