Daphne Always and James Sheppard Appear in “On an Open Fire” on Wednesday, December 13, at The Laurie Beechman Theatre

The hyperactive transsexual and her gay sidekick, Daphne Always and James Sheppard, present a lovingly deranged holiday show full of songs, stories and good cheer, On an Open Fire, on Wednesday, December 13 at 7 PM at the Laurie Beechman Theatre

The two bon vivants are home for the holidays with their new cabaret, bringing their brand of cheer along with a seething roast of the most wonderful time of the year. Nothing like Yuletide by the fireside! Always and Sheppard have been a musical duo since 2017, when Daphne—an attention seeker who sings and is trans or whatever, and James Sheppard, a Queerdo composer and performer of new music with a sweet old soul–met at National Sawdust to perform in Sasha Velour’s Nightgowns. Shortly thereafter, the pair began their weekly cabaret at Club Cumming: Happiest Hour.

Tickets are $22, with a $34 VIP option for reserved seating, available at www.SpinCycleNYC.com. There is a $25 food/drink minimum at all performances.

The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located in the West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42 Street, NYC
