If your seasonal playlist needs rescuing from tired carols and mall music, Ana Gasteyer has the antidote. The SNL alumna brings her acclaimed Sugar & Booze holiday show to The Town Hall on December 15, delivering the swinging, horn-driven Christmas that Sinatra would approve of.
Gasteyer’s 2019 album topped best-of-year lists for good reason—it captures the revelry of vintage holiday recordings while injecting them with her signature wit. Billboard called it “an uproarious homage to Christmas albums of old,” and the LA Times noted that Rat Pack legends would have fought over the title track.
The timing couldn’t be better. Fresh off her buzzy appearances in the Emmy-winning SNL50 Anniversary Special, Gasteyer comes to The Town Hall riding renewed momentum. Her versatility spans theater (the recent Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress and Elphaba in Wicked), television (Loot), and the recent emergence of her alter ego, September L. Davis, with whom we’re officially obsessed.
Gasteyer channels the theatrical sophistication of classic holiday specials while maintaining the comedic timing that made her an SNL standout. The combination of genuine vocal chops, sharp humor, and big-band energy promises holiday entertainment where the jazz hands are justified.
As Gasteyer puts it: “The only thing better than a holiday party is a holiday party with a horn section.” Consider this your invitation.
