December 2 â 18
If your holidays under those heavy Seattle clouds need a bit of cheering and queering up, Kitten LaRue and Lou Henry Hoover would love to invite you to their cozy home, nicely located onstage at the Oddfellows Buildingâs West Hall. The married pair, known collectively as Kitten Nâ Lou, are âThe Worldâs Show-Busiest Couple,â members of the Atomic Bombshells, holders of multiple Burlesque Hall of Fame trophies, and have been producing this show in one version or another for over a decade. And this is your last chance to indulge in this versionâs heartwarming, heartweirding shenanigans, as the duo has teased âsurprisesâ and âupdatesâ next year.
Jingle is a sweet and funny night of burlesque, drag, dance, comedy, community, and whateverâs been in the news and on the radio over the past 12 months. Kitten Nâ Lou are throwing a Christmas party in and around their wintry home and itâs high time to check in with a Pee-weeâs Playhouse-esque gang of family and friends, including performers well-known to locals (Markeith Wiley, Woody Shticks), from out of town (Jeez Loueez, Tito Bonito), and seemingly from Mars (Cherdonna Shinatra, whose chaos version of âWinter Wonderlandâ is my absolute favorite). Plus, a few Christmas ghosts, the bisexual Angel We Have Heard Is High (RedBone), and a visit from one very chill and progressive Jesus (ilvs strauss).
There are only 15 live performances in this run, so order a holly jolly drink from the Tin Table one door down then grab a seat, be merry, and be gay for another go-round with this eccentric ensemble.
