Steven Bringberg as Barbra Streisand

Sad to say, but our QFest giveaways are coming to a close. But dry your eyes, 'cause this last prize is the grand dame of all that is QFest giveaways. As part of the fest's Barbrapalooza, Streisand impersonator extraordinaire Steven Brinberg will take the stage as Lovely Lady S at the The Arts Banks (601 S. Broad St.) tomorrow and we want you to go! Here's what QFest has to say about Brinberg:

Join Steven Brinberg, the internationally acclaimed Barbra Streisand impressionist, for this special performance of his show, Simply Barbra. The show is so good, even Ms Streisand herself approves. The affectionate homage, peppered with humor, captures vintage Babs from the late '60s to the early '70s, complete with her famous personality, idiosyncrasies and mannerisms. Brinberg sings â with uncanny accuracy â some of her most famous hits such as Don't Rain on My Parade, Evergreen, Memories, On A Clear Day, People and The Way We Were. A wonderfully written, amazingly performed show.

BUT WAIT: Before we get down to the trivia question, we first gotta mention that Barbra Karaoke, which Josh Middleton told you about in his QFest events round-up, is no longer at Voyeur. Instead, you'll have to belt "People" at McGillins (1310 Drury St., 215-735-5562). Back to business people!: To win two tickets to tomorrow's performance, just e-mail the answers to the questions below to molly [dot] eichel [at] citypaper [dot] net. Congrats to Jackie M.!
