Joe’s Pub Holiday Lineup

Monday, December 12-14 at 9:30 PM
Bridget Everett and The Tender Moments barrel back into Joe’s Pub! Bridget’s legendary and take-no-prisoners live act is a perennial sold-out hit and has garnered a faithful cult following. She has been seen in a string of recent television shows and movies, but to experience Bridget is to experience her live. Her in-your-face comedy is mixed with one outrageous rocking and original song after another. Dripping with hard-earned sweat in her sparkling and revealing House of Larréon dresses, she swigs from a bottle in a paper bag while telling stories about her dysfunctional family and her struggles with incontinence. Grab a ticket and hold on tight. Prepare yourself for motor boating, money notes, and Chardonnay-soaked memories. Shit is about to get ridiculous. This show is not for the faint of heart. Bring a chaperone. No two shows are the same, ever.

The L Word Christmas Carol: A Live Reading!
Thursday, December 15 at 9:30 PM
In the 8 seasons of the hit series “The L Word,” we’ve never seen anyone celebrate a holiday, until now! When Shane is revealed as a closeted Christmas-head, her friends rally to literally make the Yuletide gay. But Bette’s aversion to Christmas cheer threatens to ruin the holiday and dash Shane’s hopes of everyone coming together. Can three familiar ghosts persuade Bette to see the error of her ways and find some holiday spirit before it’s too late? Join a cast of New York City’s funniest queer comedians and performers (including Emily Dayton Evans, Jess Henderson, Melody Kamali, Kelley Quinn, Tessa Skara, Sabrina Wu, and more) for a live reading of The L Word Christmas Carol, written and hosted by Carolyn Bergier and Nayomi Reghay.
