Daddy’s little drag queen

All Beef Patty is just a daddy’s girl at heart.

“When people ask, ‘What does your son do for a living?” right away my father says, ‘He is a drag queen,” admits Brooklynite Jason Gerber, a quarter-finalist on “America’s Got Talent.”

“And he brings out pictures. It is almost too obsessing.”

Gerber, 38, is one of just three New York acts still standing in the NBC summer variety contest. He will appear on tonight’s two hour live episode at 9 p.m.

A 1992 graduate of Columbia High School in East Greenbush, he created the colorfully coiffed alter ego more than a dozen years ago at the urging of a friend.

“I don’t see my drag as any different from people who do theatre, that perform on a Broadway stage.” Gerber tells The Post. “It is a complete character that I put on.

“I sing live, which is fairly unique…I do different gigs. I have done everything from bah mitzvah’s to communions to Quinceaneras.”

Gerber has also performed (out of character, of course) at Carnegie Hall, as part of the New York City Gay Mens Chorus.

“I came out to [my parents] when I was in my early teens,” he remembers. “I think they see this as an extension of theatre — of what I used to do in high school.”

To pay the bills, Gerber has been waiting tables and entertaining customers for more than a decade at Lips, a drag-themed cabaret club on East 56th Street.

“I threw my mother’s 60th birthday at our restaurant,” he says. “We had my grandmother there and my great aunts. My father has been there, too. My father is like a Mama Rose. Very much a stage father. He has been to my restaurant maybe 20 times with different people.”

At his New York City audition last spring, judge Sharon Osbourne praised, “You are fantastic. I love your voice.” And Stern called Gerber a “teriffic entertainer.”

But the King of All Media has grown tougher in recent weeks, lobbying America not to vote for any act he finds too gimmicky or not worthy of the $1 million first prize.

“I should remind him that he came a background where people hated him and despised him and threw him out on the street because he was so different — and look where he got!” Gerber says.

“So it would be good to remind judges that the package may not be suitable for everyone, but there is a market for it.”
