It's certainly not the only thing that Nearly Naked Theatre's artistic director does well. But as a onetime plus-size drag queen whose theatrical vision was inspired by his devotion to "The Rocky Horror Show," camp is in his bones.

A few, such as the Nearly Naked hit "Bat Boy: The Musical," reach those heights.

Lots of laughs, but nothing to really challenge either the King of Camp or his audience.
