A Tuna Christmas - US Tour Tickets, News, Info & More

Seasons Greetings from A TUNA CHRISTMAS, the hilarious sequel to the hit comedy, Greater Tuna, starring Tony® Award-nominated Joe Sears and Jaston Williams. Master comedians Sears and Williams, with their deft comedic timing, trademark characterizations and split-second costume changes, portray all 24 citizens of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! This time, it’s 24 hours before Christmas and the delightfully eccentric characters are attempting to cope with seasonal traumas such as a disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol, and a yard-decorating contest being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom.



Critics have raved: “The show is a hoot, and the cast, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, is two hoots,” proclaims The New York Times. “This show is so funny. It’s far too good just for Christmas,” states the New York Post. “There’s plenty to ho-ho-ho about. A TUNA CHRISTMAS is a delightful gift for longtime Tuna fans and newcomers alike,” states the Dallas Morning News. “If you like someone buy them roses…if you love someone buy them tickets to A TUNA CHRISTMAS!” exclaims the Austin American-Statesman. Bring the whole family and join in the holiday fun!
