No need to lower your great expectations when JACKIE BEAT returns to New York with BIG DICKENS ENERGY. This time, Charlie's Angel scares up the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as she revisits past hits like "Santa's Baby," "Do Some Blow," and "Go To Hell. The show will also feature some new medleys and some brand new ripped-from-the headlines holiday parodies. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or Ramadan, an evening with Jackie Beat is the perfect antidote to holiday cheer. Bah-humbug!
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. Beat’s holiday shows, including How The B*tch Stole Christmas, Alcoholidays, Give ‘Til It Hurts, O Holy Hell, and Blew Christmas have been performed at venues nationally.
Award-winning drag darling JACKIE BEAT has been wowing unsuspecting audiences since 1989. She has toured with Roseanne Barr -- as the comic legend’s opening act -- including a 7-week run at The New York New York in Las Vegas; written for TV (Fashion Police, Hello Ross, Hype! and others) and collaborated on special material with the like of Roseanne, Rosie O’Donnell and Jennifer Coolidge; appeared in countless TV shows (Sex and the City), movies (Grief, Wigstock The Movie, Flawless, Adam & Steve) and Off-Broadway hits (Valley of the Dolls, Tell-Tale!). She has been named Best Drag Queen by New York Press and Best Live Performance by HX Magazine.
