ADVENT CAROLNDAR to Return to Joe's Pub This Holiday Season

Composer of Broadway's upcoming Death Becomes Her Julia Mattison and current Titanique star Joel Waggoner will return to Joe's Pub for a second year of Advent Carolndar, their viral social media sensation. Advent Carolndar is the viral Instagram account where the duo created one original holiday song for the first 25 days in December and are now back with their third-ever live shows to get everyone in the holiday spirit at Joe's Pub on Monday, December 2 and Tuesday, December 3 at 9:30 PM.

With Advent Carolndar's third live performances, fans attending the live show can expect to sing along to such hits as "On the Brink!," "There's a Reindeer in Our Yard (We Should Eat It)," "Mistletoe Melissa," and "Stable Girl," as well as clutch their pearls while Joel and Julia nosedive into some one-night-only improvised carols that are guaranteed to go violently off the rails.

"Advent Carolndar was first born out of a wild caroling party at Julia's house in 2018 where we sang 'Why is Sausage Not a Christmas Food' until 5am and neighbors threatened to call the cops," said Joel and Julia. "Now, we're so excited to once again be caroling with friends, bringing our hijinks to the esteemed Joe's Pub, and joining our wonderful fans for a night of laughs, booze, and holiday cheer. If the cops are called this time, we will be sure to make them join us in a singalong."

The live shows at Joe's Pub are once again directed and produced by Tim Drucker with associate direction by Joyah Spangler.

Tickets for the live performances at Joe's Pub on December 2nd and 3rd are currently on-sale here.
