New York City
Jackie Beat, everyone’s favorite Grinch, returns to NYC with her 10th annual holiday show: Give ‘Til It Hurts.
It all started so innocently in 1998 with Jesus Christ, It’s Your Birthday!, a delightful non-denominational holiday tribute featuring such seasonal fare as “Sleigh Ride in Leather With You” and “Black Christmas.” When the show was prominently featured in The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Right’s 1998 Report on Anti-Catholicism, an annual holiday tradition was born.
Now, a decade later, the bile-filled and always youthful Ms. Beat returns to New York to share her latest thoughts on “the most wonderful time of the year.” Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or Ramadan, Jackie Beat: Give ‘Til It Hurts is the perfect way to celebrate. This new holiday show is a virtual stocking stuffed with hilarious new seasonal material and some classic Christmas Jackie (including Oops… It’s Christmas Again, Jew Christmas, Alcoholidaze, Sleigh Ride in Leather with You, and Cancer Don’t Care That It’s Christmas.) And you wont want to miss Jackie’s newest tradition: The Biggest Hits of the Year Medley, in which the most annoying and ubiquitous songs of Auld Lang Syne 2007 are crudely wrapped up for holidays!
Jackie Beat: Give ‘Til It Hurts will also be seen in Los Angeles (Dec. 7 – 9 The at Cavern Club Celebrity Theater), San Diego (Dec. 12 at Bourbon Street) and San Francisco (Dec. 20 – 22 at Empire Plush Room).
