A COMICALLY CLASSICAL CHRISTMAS CABARET is a collection of songs about or inspired by the holiday season, each with a unique comical twist. Most of the music will have the feel of classical music, although the words and performances will add a comic interpretation. Many of the songs are by PDQ Bach, also known as Professor Peter Schickele, and include his "A Consort of Christmas Carols: Throw the Yule Log On Uncle John, Oh Little Town of Hackensack and Good King Kong Looked Out." Also featured will be PDQ Bach's "Oedipus Tex." Other songs included in the program include Tom Lehrer's satirical "Christmas Carols" and other comical holiday tunes. The entire evening will be presented in the style of a classical chamber recital and seasonal refreshments will be available during intermission.

A COMICALLY CLASSICAL CHRISTMAS CABARET features performances by Darrin Murrell and Julie Barber, who also conceived and compiled material for the show, Marty Grubbs and Zack Fisk.
