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.
Now, more than two decades later, the bile-filled Beat share her latest thoughts on "the most wonderful time of the year" for the first time in Atlanta. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or atheism, JACKIE BEAT: UNDER THE TREE is the perfect way to celebrate! This new holiday show is a big package filled with hilarious new seasonal material and some classic Christmas Jackie like her cocaine-fueled rewrite of “Let It Snow,” the pregnancy confessional “Santa’s Baby,” a menorah-loving “Jew Christmas,” a booze-infused spin on “Happy Holidays” called “Alcoholidays,” the STD cautionary tale "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Syphilis," and the Britney-inspired banger “Oops... It’s Christmas Again.” JACKIE BEAT: UNDER THE TREE is a gift that keep on giving.
