Michael Schiralli directs Chanukah, which will be presented Dec. 8, 15 and 22 at 9:30 PM. The Dec. 15 engagement will also offer a 7:30 PM show.

In Scraping the Bottom for Chanukah, Hoffman "shamelessly retreads her meanest musical hits in an evening of song that's just plain wrong." The evening will also celebrate Hoffman's solo debut recording, "Jackie Hoffman: Live at Joe's Pub" (PS Classics).

Bobby Peaco serves as musical director for the Joe's Pub concerts. Songs featured in previous Hoffman concerts and on her recording include "The Kvetching Continues," "Three Minutes on Broadway," "Lead Paint on Toys," "Stop Making Out," "My Little Fibroid," "Cancer" and "No Child Is Born."

Hoffman received a Theatre World Award for her work in Hairspray. Her other theatrical credits include Xanadu, The Sisters Rosensweig, Regrets Only, Book of Liz (Obie Award), Straightjacket, Incident at Cobbler's Knob and One Woman Shoe (Jeff Award). Hoffman has been seen on screen in "Legally Blonde II," "Kissing Jessica Stein," "Garden State," "Mo' Money" and "Freaky Friday."

Joe's Pub is located within the Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street. Tickets, priced $30, are available by visiting www.joespub.com.
