DORIS FISH performs THIS IS MY LIFE/ 1989 Victoria Theatre S.F.

The last performance by the great drag performer Doris Fish- in a benefit performance at SF Victoria Theatre -shortly before she died. The sold out event occured in 1989 & was aptly entitled WHO DOES THAT BITCH THINK SHE IS. It was a remarkable evening of celebration and tears. Doris was very sick at the time and garnered every last ounce of energy for this number. Excerpt from Marc Huestis doc ANOTHER GODDAMN BENEFIT. VIVA DORIS!!
