November 30th, 2020, San Diego, CA – Today Diversionary Theatre announces their online holiday show, “A VERY SPECIAL DIVERSIONARY PANDEMIC CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR“. Three live performances Thursday– December 11 at 8pm, Saturday December 12th at 7pm and a late night offering at 10pm. A recording of the performances will be available to stream through December 29th.

It’s time to rejoice that 2021 is near and 2020 is out the rear! Celebrate the magic of the holidays, COVID-style, with the whimsically demented minds of Isaac Oliver (Lonely Christmas) and Jenn Harris (Silence! The Musical). Join this comic duo as they spread some queer cheer, and regale San Diego with hilarious holiday fare to mend our bruised hearts and minds from a frightful year. Oh yes, Hallmark movies will be lampooned. And yes, crafting and caroling will be attempted but seldom achieved. Break out the spiked cider and get ready for these two to crash down your chimney!
