—Actor, writer, and humorist Harry Shearer (The Simpsons,
This is Spinal Tap) and singer-songwriter Judith Owen return to New York for the 10th
anniversary nationwide tour of their reverent and irreverent holiday sing-along, Christmas
Without Tears (Does this Tree Make me Look Fat?) What began years ago as an annual
gathering of friends and family at the couple’s Santa Monica, CA home is now a rollicking
holiday house party, equal parts sincere and sardonic.
A throwback to simpler times, this homespun variety show offers a mix of holiday classics,
cynical send-ups, and bawdy originals, all played out around the family piano. An all-star lineup
of comedy and music guests–featuring Alan Cumming, Mario Cantone, Olympia Dukakis, Alfie
Boe, Paul Shaffer, Artie Lange, Fred Willard, and Béla Fleck–will join Owen and Shearer for the
first half of the evening, offering their musical and comedic takes on “the most wonderful time of
the year.” The audience takes the lead in the second half with a sing-along portion and a bawdy,
grand finale performance of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Additional guests include Peter
Asher, Davell Crawford, Godfrey Daniels, Jerry Dixon, Amy Engelhardt, Keith Nelson, Doña
Oxford, the SongBirds, and a few surprise appearances.
Condition:NEW.
