Sandra Bernhard Set for End-Of-Year Residency at Joe's Pub, 12/27-31

Sandra Bernhard and her band The Rebellious Jezebels will return to Joe's Pub at The Public for her annual residency beginning December 27 leading up to the not-to-be-missed New Year's Eve special on December 31 when she celebrates and reviews the highs and lows of 2012 with hysterical insight, outspoken views and an outrageous mouth. Discounted tickets for the New Year's Eve shows are available through Thursday, November 22 at www.joespub.com.

For her annual end-of-year run at Joe's Pub, Bernhard will perform ten shows total, two shows nightly from December 27 through December 31. On New Year's Eve, Chef Michael Oliver will have festive specials available and a champagne toast at midnight in addition to his eclectic American menu served nightly.

Bernhard's live performances are a hybrid of stand-up comedy and rock 'n roll, a raucous mix of political satire, pop culture commentary and cabaret. Her brilliant unity of hilarious diatribes on the state of modern culture and classic rock attitude burns smart. It's fresh, crazy and real; inspires and invigorates. In 2012 Bernhard became the co-star of the new Logo TV Series DTLA with Melanie Griffith. For more information or to purchase tickets for Bernhard's Joe's Pub dates, visit: http://bit.ly/RIl4qg.
