CITY WINERY PHILADELPHIA presents New York’s riotous and raucous hairy drag queen TAMMY FAYMOUS (ALEXANDER KACALA) in “A VERY TAMMY FAYMOUS CHRISTMAS” on Dec. 22, 2023. Tammy is ready to bring Christmas chaos to Philadelphia, but will the ghosts of queer history let her? Join us for a humorous and heartwarming night of spicy storytelling, spiced eggnog, and classic carols as Tammy tries to answer that age old question: Is “Die Hard” a holiday film?

“As a child, I loved Christmas, but also hated that time of year because it was always a tough time for my family to get through,” Faymous says. “Now as an adult, I’m doing my best to live in the joy of the holiday season while battling those blues that pop up, especially for queer people who still may feel like they don’t fit in. No matter what, this show is a celebration of the outsider in us all at Christmastime.”

Along with celebrated music director, Darnell White and some exciting special guests, the show’s music ranges from holiday standards to new interpretations of pop and rock hits. In between jingles, Tammy mixes and mingles with the crowd, offering vulnerable discoveries about her own sordid Christmas past and much more. Her wig may be a mess and her makeup may be running, but Christmas can’t be canceled when Tammy’s climbing the chimney.

TAMMY FAYMOUS in “A VERY TAMMY FAYMOUS CHRISTMAS” plays CITY WINERY PHILADELPHIA (990 Filbert St.) on Friday, Dec. 22 at 7:30 pm. Cover charges are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Tickets and information are available at philadelphia.citywinery.com.
