Your favorite Buffalo comedienne, Charmagne Chi, serves up a totally adults only irreverent holiday event, hearkening back to ye old days of the 60s and 70s celebrity Christmas television specials. Leave the kids at home for a saucy, swearing, singing good time. Seriously, do not bring children. This is Christmassy AF.
This production is part of the AlleyWORKS series, where new plays and musicals receive different levels of support during their development. BLUE XMAS at the Alleyway is a workshop production, produced at a limited scale and budget, so the playwright and creative team can explore the script and plot in front of an audience. The audience is the most crucial ingredient in making a new play. Your attendance, laughter (or not) and applause (or not) will tell us what is working and not working, so that the playwrights can go back to the drawing board to make it even better.

Actress, comedian, writer, and director, Charmagne has been working in the Buffalo theater community for over twenty years. She’s most recognizable from the decade she’s spent telling jokes as co-host of the Artie Awards. Her hilariously naughty and weirdly heartwarming cabaret LET CHI ENTERTAIN YOU was well received by Buffalo audiences and critics, and she’s so excited to share her newest work, BLUE XMAS, with you tonight. She's a seven-time Artie Award nominee, winning her first Artie in 2019 for her portrayal of Emma Goldman in MusicalFare's RAGTIME.
