Christine Pedi, who was last seen on Broadway in Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio (she lent her voice to several of the radio callers), offers a holiday-themed show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre beginning Dec. 1.

Entitled Christine Pedi's Holly Jolly Christmas Folly!, the singing actress will perform in the intimate theatre Dec. 1 at 8 PM and Dec. 14, 15, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 at 7 PM.

"Do you hear what I hear?," asks Christmas Folly! press notes. "Patti's in Gypsy, Liza's at the Palace, Babs is hosting a fundraiser, and longtime Forbidden Broadway diva Christine Pedi is lovingly lampooning them all and more in [her new show]. . . . Christine will usher in the holiday season with her award-winning comedic flair, spot on impressions and songs of good cheer. From Roxie Hart's take on 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town' to an impression filled '12 Divas of Christmas' audiences will fall on their knees with laughter, marvel at Christine's voice as big as the sea, and find comfort and joy in stories of Christmas past, present, and future! God bless her…every pun!"

On Broadway Christine Pedi has been seen in Talk Radio and in the Martin Short revival of Little Me. She has performed in more than a dozen companies of Forbidden Broadway and earned Drama Desk and Ovation Award nominations for her work in Forbidden Hollywood. She was also seen Off-Broadway in A Broadway Diva Christmas.

The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located within the West Bank Café at 407 West 42nd Street at Ninth Avenue. For tickets, priced $55, call (212) 279-4200 or visit www.TicketCentral.com.
