Product Description:
Actress and stand-up comedian Jackie Hoffman best known for her bawdy and hilarious turns on Broadway in Hairspray and Xanadu, is heard here: salty, saucy and uncensored. (In her own words, "It's fun, it's filthy, it's me.") Jackie’s unique blend of cynicism, stand up, and original songs will make you realize why her shows at Joe's Pub are the stuff of New York legend. Time Out New York called Jackie "the funniest woman in America," and the Village Voice hailed her as a mix of "Carol Burnett's rubber face, Sarah Silverman's outrage, Ethel Merman's vocal throttle, and Gladys Kravitz's world view." Here she leaves no comic stone unthrown, targeting everything from West Side matrons to public displays of affection, from the vagaries of show business to her own mortality. The New York Times proclaimed, "Jackie has a love-hate relationship with her audience: she hates and they love."
This recording captures Hoffman in rare but signature form, delivering a series of riotous original songs and monologues. It was recorded during an extended sold-out engagement last winter at Joe's Pub.
Not for the warm and fuzzy, politically correct or faint of heart.
"Ms. Hoffman's solo shows at Joe's Pub have become a beloved ritual for fans. Her splenetic comic style, essentially kvetching on an operatic scale, is entirely her own. Endearing bitter, explosively funny, Hoffman is fearless when it comes to her material." – The New York Times
"The funniest woman in America! Jackie Hoffman is cranky again, which is just the way we love her!" – Time Out New York
"A wicked combo of theatrical hauteur, self parody, and shades of the great Broadway broads!" – Village Voice
