Well, it’s true! We’ve already covered “Homo for the Holidays”, “The Dina Martina Christmas Show” and “The Judy Garland Christmas Special” and tonight I’m going to see “Ham for the Holidays” with the divine ladies, Lisa Koch and Peggy Platt. Those are all longer run shows, but there’s plenty of shorter run/solo Holiday events to check out as well. Let’s take a look at a couple of them on for tonight..shall we?
The All-New Anita Goodmann Experience Holiday Special is happening Thursday, December 9 at Rendezvous/Jewel Box Theater, 2322 2nd Ave, starting at 8:30pm. Join the delightful Miss Goodman and her Pals, Cassie O’Hara, Andrew McMasters, Adina Gillett, Gary Gloryhole, Jeffrey Henry, Sophie Tiffany, Josh Black and burlesque queen, Miss Le Petit Mort for a naughty, but festive evening that they promise will include, “Gary Gloryhole’s 12 Days of X-mas, Santa and the ghost of Mrs. Claus, The Elephant with a drinking problem, The Christmas Bong, Jesus, Jimmy Stewart, Boobs, Burlesque Performers and Brandi the Prize Girl into a mere 45 minutes? I probably left out a few things on that list. Be ye naughty or nice, be there for one unique performance of The All-New Anita Goodmann Experience Holiday Special.”
Also on Thursday, the monstrously talented Miss Jackie Beat returns to Seattle for a Christmas engagement at Julia’s On Broadway for her show, “Jackie Beat’s All You Can Eat Christmas!”. I gave her a HUGE write up a couple weeks ago, (check it out) but just to remind you, it’s this Thursday, December 9 and the show starts at 9pm, but Julia’s is offering dinner specials if you come earlier. She sold out last time she came to town, so hopefully, they have some tickets left. Don’t miss the divine Miss Beat; she’s filthy and funny! (Don’t believe me? Go check out her videos on YouTube…she’s made a slew of them with her LA comedy friends, Nadya Ginsburg, Selene Luna and sexbomb Mario Diaz…check them OUT!)
