JACKIE BEAT, everyone's favorite big and bawdy, bold and ballsy, in-your-face funny "lady" brings her biggest show to date to Off-Broadway's Gramercy Theater (127 East 23rd Street -- accessible from the N,R,F,V & 6 trains at 23rd Street). Just in time for Gay Pride, she premieres JACKIE BEAT: WITHOUT ME YOU'RE NOTHING. This limited engagement runs for 2 performances only: Friday, June 26 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, June 27 at 10:00 pm. Tickets are $20 (fixed rear mezzanine seating) and $25 (orchestra level tables), available at 212-352-3101 or www.SpinCycleNYC.com. Doors open 1 hour before showtime. A full bar and waiter service is available throughout the performance.

The ego has landed! Jackie Beat is now a full-fledged drag LEGEND. Translation? She's still alive and still a major bitch! Come see the biggest, baddest, most self-involved star in the universe as she celebrates the love that used to "dare not speak its name" (but now gets drunk, climbs up on a table, and screams to be accepted as "normal"!) JACKIE BEAT: WITHOUT ME YOU'RE NOTHING is a delightful evening of new material and classic hits. A must for anyone who has chosen a lifestyle that goes against God and nature. Don't miss Jackie's filthy take on Dolly Parton's "9 to 5", her boozed-up version of "Proud Mary", a drugged-out parody of the B-52's party anthem "Love Shack," and her tribute to Bea Arthur using Nina Simone's "Four Women."

Award-winning drag darling Jackie Beat has been wowing unsuspecting audiences since 1989. She has toured with Roseanne Barr -- as the comic legend's opening act -- including a 7-week run at The New York New York in Las Vegas; written for TV (Hype! and The Sci Fi Channel's Tripping The Rift) and collaborated on special material with the like of Roseanne, Rosie O'Donnell and Jennifer Coolidge; appeared in countless TV shows (Sex and the City), movies (Grief, Wigstock The Movie, Flawless, Adam & Steve) and Off-Broadway hits (Valley of the Dolls, Tell-Tale!). She has been named Best Drag Queen by New York Press and Best Live Performance by HX Magazine. Jackie is also a columnist, lead singer for the electro-rock band, Dirty Sanchez, and the subject of the documentary film My Name is Jackie Beat including commentary from Joan Rivers, Margaret Cho, and Roseanne.
