The Ruckus Revival: Blitzmas and the Holidays from Hell!
Come join us for a wild “Blitzmas” celebration with the biggest renegade variety show in the Bay Area! Our annual holiday edition is an anarchic romp where every holiday trope will get remixed and spun ten ways to Sunday, with a fresh risen Jesus taking to the air, the Grinch becomes a pole dancer, pagan rituals gone wild, Santa busts battle raps and more!
The Ruckus Revival is an irreverent showcase of circus superstars, stand up comedy, blazing burlesque, scorching pole performances, freestyle battle rap, stunning aerial artists, beat-boxing, hard hitting lyricism, shocking sideshow, hilarious dirty haiku bouts & and audience-interactive mayhem in a fast-paced night of unfiltered entertainment!
Featuring a Grinch pole performance by Amber Fox, randy christmas carols with burlesque star Kiki La Chanteuse, psychedelic tap-dancing by Tapper Dan, kinky juggling by Lucy Juggles, a special drag performance by Kat Walker, beat-boxing anarchy by Eric Rubin, bloody burlesque with Rebel Rose, rowdy roller-skating by Tumbleweed, sword swallowing by Wendy Blades, stand up comedy by Annette Mullaney, sexy messiah aerial by Joanna Animal and a gang more of surprises! It's going to be a night of jaw dropping hilarity, hard hitting art and an exuberant send up of the holidays from hell!
The Huffington Post calls Ruckus “one of the best underground performance art shows in America”. The winner of multiple "Best of the Bay" awards, the SF Chronicle calls our show "a dazzling, inspiring and celebratory display of talent" and “consistently the most spectacular event Oakland has ever seen”.
Every show features an all new lineup, and both the freestyle rap battle and slam are open for anyone to sign up and compete for $400 in cash prizes, judged by the audience! Come see the show the SF Chronicle calls “a tent revival for misfits and freaks, those whose artistry or spectatorship has a homespun bent and a bandit streak."
Hosted by Jamie DeWolf (HBO’s Def Poetry Jam and NPR's Snap Judgment) and Wonder Dave (Mental Health Comedy Hour and Safe Words Queer Comedy Showcase), with Little Glitter Bomb, Dizzy FromEarlier and the entire Misfit Mob!
