Blitzmas! A Very Ruckus Holiday Show The Bay Areaโ€™s wildest Christmas party hits the stage with a wicked winter variety show featuring comedy, circus, and spectacular mayhem!
About this Event

Join us for a wild and raucous night at The Continental Club in what the East Bay Express has called "the most consistently spectacular event Oakland has ever seen"! Our December show roasts the holiday season in every way possible with a dark satirical exuberance, featuring guest appearances by a certain birthday Messiah, Kris Kringle, and Krampus, all performed by the most electrifying cast of characters you've ever seen in a live show!

The Ruckus and Revival is a legendary underground variety show filled with uncensored circus, stand up comedy, pole performers, aerialists, beat-boxing, slam poetry, burlesque, freestyle rap battles, break-dancing, dirty haiku bouts and audience interactive mayhem in one fast paced night of unfiltered entertainment.

Winner of multiple "Best of the Bay" awards, the SF Chronicle hails Ruckus as "a dazzling, inspiring and celebratory display of talentโ€ฆa tent revival for misfits and freaks." Every show features a brand-new lineup, plus audience-judged rap battles and slam poetry competitions with $400 cash prizes up for grabs.

Hosted by Jamie DeWolf (HBO's Def Poetry Jam, NPR's Snap Judgment) and Wonder Dave (Mental Health Comedy Hour), with masters of mayhem DizzyfromEarlier and Little Glitter Bomb.
