Direct from co-starring as "Grandmama" in the new musical, The Addams Family, acclaimed New York comedic actress (and hilarious holiday-hating Hebrew) Jackie Hoffman will debut her Whining in the Windy City: Holiday Edition, a no-holds-barred original musical comedy rant about showbiz, not-so-charming children, and of course the holidays, in four performances only at the Royal George Cabaret.
Not for the faint of heart or those easily offended, Hoffman promises to skewer everything that is Merry with her biting, fearless stand up comedy and original songs. A cash bar will be available but don't even bother requesting eggnog, mulled apple cider or any other such holiday drink!
Hoffman's other Broadway appearances include Xanadu and Hairspray (for which she won a Theatre World Award), while off-Broadway credits include Regrets Only, The Book of Liz (Obie Award), Straightjacket, Incident at Cobbler's Knob and One Woman Shoe. Among her popular one-woman cabaret shows are Scraping the Bottom, Jackie with a Z, Chanukah at Joe's Pub (Bistro Award), and The Kvetching Continues.
As versatile as she is verbal, Hoffman was a member of the Second City ensemble here from 1987-1994, while notable films and television programs in which she's appeared include The Extra Man, A Dirty Shame, Garden State, Legally Blonde II, Kissing Jessica Stein, and Mo' Money, plus "30 Rock," "One Life to Live," "Starved," " Hope and Faith," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Strangers with Candy," "TV Funhouse," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," " Soulman," and "Cosby."
