What better way to celebrate the departure of all those schedule-snarling, suit-wearing, smooth-talking world leaders than by attending a post-G-20 blowout at Your Inner Vagabond in Lawrenceville?

The live musical comedy show, called "Stop the World -- We're Here," stars the glittery Dicey Stewart and a brassy babe named Paprika LaRue.

For an hour and a half, the two local singer-songwriters perform their altered, satirical versions of songs such as "Stayin' Alive," "Venus" and "Born to be Wild," plus that chestnut from "The Thomas Crown Affair" titled "The Windmills of Your Mind." And let's not forget Jim Steinman's over-the-top "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

The duo, who have performed on Great Lakes cruise ships, and at Club Cafe and Modern Formations, began performing together intermittently in the 1980s and love to make audiences laugh.

Manny Montefusco, who managed the Ohio Express, a bubble-gum rock group popular in the 1960s, saw Dicey Stewart perform in Toledo and caught LaRue's act in the Catskills.

He suggested the two become a duo. Both women, who enjoy talking to their audiences, created on-stage characters that are polar opposites of their real personalities. As both are singer-songwriters, they enjoy satirizing music.

"We love to harmonize," said Stewart, a Swissvale woman who, disguised as Janet Ingram, plays a research associate in her day job at Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic. Ingram, a native of Indianapolis, spent much of her teenage years in Toledo.

The name Dicey Stewart, Ingram said, belonged to a mysterious relative of hers who played the pump organ in a tiny Illinois house. On stage, Dicey is an amalgam of Joey Heatherington, Pat Benatar, Eydie Gorme and a former neighbor from Detroit named Karen Sugarman. Dicey's voice rises to the mezzo-soprano and harmonizes well with her sidekick's alto tones.

The LaRue character got noticed in a high school talent show in her native Kalamazoo, Mich. As a youngster she moved with her family to New York, which explains why her Yonkizz accent is so authentic. Paprika plays "Venus" on the ukulele and performs under the heavy influence of Sophie Tucker and Bette Midler.

To her Wilkinsburg neighbors, she's better known as Eve Goodman, a native of Boston who moved to Pittsburgh from Nashville in 2002. Offstage, Goodman works for the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Singer-songwriter Tracy Drach, who plays acoustic guitar, opens for the duo.
