Photo Diary: Backstage at Restoration Comedy with Alex Mandell

We gave Restoration Comedy's Alex Mandell a camera to snap a few shots of what exactly happens behind the scenes at the greatest Kiki in New York! Take a look, if you dare, at all the scandalous images and what Alex had to say!

"I'm Italian!"

"We pretend to hate each other on stage, but in real life we're actually friends!"
