The Free Speech Comedy Art Series with Bitch Slapped! (a Live Drag Show and Musical Revue) at Revolutions International Theatre Festival January 27, 2007

From Los Angeles comes Jackie Beat for the second and third evenings of The Free Speech Comedy Art Series with Bitch Slapped! (a Live Drag Show and Musical Revue). Jackie Beat has been entertaining audiences across the U.S. and in Europe for over ten years. Hot off her national tour with comic legend Rosanne Barr, she combines a high-energy musical drag revue, stand-up comedy and more into a 90-minute set of warped re-interpretations of your favorite pop songs in her signature blend of comedy, voice, and a bit of audience participation.

Jackie’s stand-up has been featured in comedy clubs across the country and on Comedy Central, VH-1 and MTV. She was recently a staff writer for the WB comedy series Hype!; has written scripts for the Sci Fi Channel; is one of the “top cops” in US Magazine’s fashion police, and is currently the voice of Bertha on Nickelodeon’s animated series Kung-Fu Spy Troll. She has also performed in many off-Broadway productions and on cruise ships, and is lead singer of the popular electroclash band, Dirty Sanchez. Her one-woman show, Jackie Beat Is A Whole Lotta’ Love, ran for a record 18 months at New York City’s premier cabaret, Fez, and she returns every year with her award-winning, standing-room-only Christmas show. Due to subject matter and strong language, parental guidance is suggested.

Fri., January 26, 10 p.m., Sat., January 27, 8 p.m., Theatre X, UNM Center for the Arts. Tickets $18 general admission, $12 students and seniors. Tickets available at UNM Box Office, 505-925-5858 or www.unmtickets.com.
