Jackie Beat'S ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT CHRISTMAS! is a comedy and music smorgasbord of deliciously blackened holiday classics mixed with a heapin' helpin' of hammy new material. The forked-tongue drag superstar carves up sacred holiday standards and current pop turkeys
with her knife-sharp wit and serves them up with style at this buffet of tasteless entertainment. Who cares if we're still at war and the unemployment rate is sky-high? The only question you need to ask yourself around this time of year is, "Breast or a leg?" (And with Jackie Beat, there's no need to choose!)

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 Bitch Stole Christmas, Give ‘Til It Hurts, Alcoholidays, Blew Christmas, and Merry F**cking 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 (Hype! and The Sci Fi Channel's
Tripping The Rift) 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. Jackie is also a columnist, lead singer for the electro-rock band, Dirty Sanchez, and the subject of the documentary film My Name is Jackie Beat including commentary from Joan Rivers, Margaret Cho, Lady Bunny, and Roseanne.
