Event Description

Presented by Arcade Comedy Theater


“A f***ing X-mas play for grown-ups”


Written by Anthony Neilson
Directed by Jethro Nolen


What if that “Christmas Feeling” came in powdered form?


It’s Christmas Eve, 1995, and Gary and Simon have a few things left on their holiday to-do list. They need to figure out if the “elf” they captured is really one of Santa’s little helpers or just a burglar. They need to get their hands on some of that “Christmas Feeling” the elf seems to be addicted to. And they need to do this all before the cops arrive.


Anthony Neilson’s one-act comedy is the perfect alternative to the family-friendly offerings this season. “An un-merry extravaganza jam-packed with drugs, debauchery and dirty jokes, all rolled in glitter” (Broadway World). “Unsentimental, remarkably authentic” (LA Times).


The Night Before Christmas features an all-star cast of Arcade favorites! Starring stand-up comedian Vanessa St Clair, one of 2019’s “Best Local Comedians” (Pittsburgh City Paper Readers’ Poll), improv comedian John Feightner (Knights of the Arcade, SEX aka Weiners and Boobs), sketch comedian Justin Vetter (The Justin and Jerome Experience) and featuring Emily Welsh, fresh from the cast of Arcade’s smash-hit Bubble Boy: The Musical.
