Infamous Drag Icon Spreads Holiday Magic in NYC

Lady Bunny, the infamous drag icon, returns to The Laurie Beechman Theatre this week for five hilarious performances of her holiday show, Lady Bunny: A Very Blue Christmas.

The show features Lady Bunny's politically-incorrect parodies of over thirty Christmas classics. Songs are raunchy and not appropriate for young audiences, but adult fans of drag comedy are guaranteed to be howling with laughter in the aisles.

There is also a dishy version of "Twas the Night Before Xmas" that zings popular queens from the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise. Lady Bunny shares Atlanta roots with RuPaul. They were even roommates at one time; and Lady Bunny was the "Dean of Drag" on three seasons of the spin-off show, RuPaul’s Drag U.

Lady Bunny’s comic genius has been featured in Wig, the HBO Wigstock documentary made with Neil Patrick Harris, and the feature film, Hurricane Bianca: From Russia with Hate. She has been roasted by Joan Rivers, roasted Pam Anderson on The Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson, and emceed the LGBT prom in one of the most popular episodes of Sex and the City.

She also opened for Christina Aguilera at Radio City Music Hall. The pop star later tweeted, “Upstaged at my own show! #Diva.”

Performances for Lady Bunny: A Very Blue Christmas begin tonight and run through December 15. General admission tickets are $25 at www.SpinCycleNYC.com. VIP tickets that include reserved seating and an autographed photo of Lady Bunny (no meet-and greet) are $36. There is a $25 food/drink minimum; full dinner menu is available. 18+ only.

The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located inside the West Bank Café at 407 West 42nd Street at Ninth Avenue.
