College senior and Mask & Wig Chairman Reg Tigerman at your service.

Street: What is the breakfast of champions?

Reg Tigerman: Breakfast is for losers. I eat brunch.

Street: Do you think more people love Mask & Wig or hate it?

RT: I feel like we're analogous to a Take 5 candy bar. We're a lot to handle, and some might be turned off by the nuts, but once you take a bite, you're gonna wannna come back for more.

Street: Are you a Mask or are you a Wig?

RT: I'm actually an ampersand.

Street: Should all men dress up in drag at least once in their life?

RT: All girls respect a guy who has the courage to wear a bra and a dress. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm waxing my bikini line.

Street: What's your life going to be like post-Penn?

RT: I'm going to become a B-rated actor then come back to Penn as a professor in the Asian American Studies Department.

Street: Is Reg short for something?

RT: No, it's not short for anything. It's actually long for Re.

Street: How do you get your hair so big?

RT: I'd like to thank my parents for that. My mom is Jewish and my dad was a Chia Pet.

Street: When did you begin to grow the fro?

RT: I've always had the fro. I feel like each and every one of us has a little fro inside. For some it might be a hobby or a family memento, and for others a mound of curly locks that repels water and removes grime from any surface. I feel lucky to have the latter.

Street: Can we touch it?

RT: A girl in Las Vegas once asked me that, and I used a pick up line that I found in a "How to pick up women" book. I told her "You've gotta pay to touch the merchandise," and she walked away disgusted. So yes, you can touch it.

Street: How do you perform the same show so many times without dying of boredom?

RT: Some people would say alcohol, but I do it by not performing the same show every time. I try and add small things here and there to keep myself and the rest of the group on their toes.

Street: And how do you think of new things to add?

RT: Alcohol.

Street: How do you feel about this being the last weekend of the Mask & Wig show?

RT: I'm going to miss it. You better not.

Street: What is the best cure for a hangover?

RT: If I had an answer to that, I'd be in class right now.
