A Chaos Christmas Carol with Chicken John and Friends

He Knows When You've Been Sleeping

Chicken John’s 20th annual Christmas Eve show, “A Chaos Christmas Carol with Chicken John and Friends” takes place tomorrow night, Monday, December 24th at 12 Galaxies. The show starts at 9pm and admission is $7. Also bring a dumb gift or two.

19 years ago, Chicken John started a tradition. Family holiday for people without families. On Christmas Eve, no one should be alone. So he threw a show. Here’s how it works: everyone brings a stupid gift or two, and puts it under the tree. Chicken hosts a game show that everyone in the club plays for like 3 minutes. Everyone wins. You open the gift that you select for winning right there on stage. When we run out of gifts, the show is over. Last year the show was 3 1/2 hours long. It was either the greatest thing anyone has ever seen or the worst show on Earth. This year promises to be worst. We invite you to endure: A Chaos Christmas Carol with Chicken John and Friends.
