About This Event
VARLA JEAN MERMAN (Icon, Award-winning Singer, Comedienne) brings her new show "STAND BY YOUR DRAG" to Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood! Join us...LIVE! Tues, April 23, 2024 at 8:30pm. Dinner begins at 7:00pm.
It’s been a year since Varla Jean Merman's earth-shaking, knee-breaking “Tic-Taccident” found her flat on her back with her legs in the air. Since that time, our daffy diva has worked hard to get back on her feet and on the stage.
Now with drag bans, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and a skyrocketing bar tab, America is conspiring to knock Varla off her lucite heels AGAIN!
Join this show-biz survivor as she takes a stand for life, liberty and the pursuit of non-skid breath mints.
Tickets: $25-35, VIP & Artist Circle Seating Available. Ticket online at CatalinaJazzClub.com or TicketWeb.com
*Tickets purchased online receive priority seating.
*Single Entree or Drink minimums apply for all tickets
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
VARLA JEAN MERMAN (aka Jeffery Roberson Loe) starred in the musical Lucky Guy opposite Leslie Jordan in New York in 2011 at the Little Shubert Theatre, prompting The New York Times to rave, “If Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman had stood in front of the right pair of funhouse mirrors, they might have resembled Ms. Merman and Mr. Jordan in stature as well as comedic talent.” More recently, Jeffery starred in the films Hush Up, Sweet Charlotte, Girls Will Be Girls, and Varla Jean and the Mushroomheads.Off-Broadway audiences have also embraced Jeffery in the title role of Giancarlo Menotti’s opera The Medium, as well as the title role in the musical comedy farce Mildred Fierce. Jeffery played the role of Mary Sunshine on Broadway in the revival of Chicago and in the First National Touring Company. In 2010, he won Boston’s Elliot Norton Award for Best Musical Performance in Phantom of the Oprah.
Jeffery’s longtime collaboration with the prolific Ricky Graham has produced such hits as Hello Dawlin’!,Gone with the Breaking Wind, Steel Poinsettias, and the hugely successful Scrooge In Rouge which has nine productions across the country this year alone.
