(TEANECK, NJ) -- After a sold-out run in June, The David Drumgold Variety Show is returning to Teaneck's Puffin Cultural Forum for a special holiday show on Sunday, December 15, 2024 at 4:00pm.  Actor, broadway/TV/film producer, and creative entrepreneur David Drumgold brings a special holiday edition of his self-titled Variety Show to the Puffin!

Hearkening back to the variety shows of the 60s & 70s – in the style of The Carol Burnett Show, The Flip Wilson Show, and The Cher Show – The David Drumgold Variety show features good old-fashioned talent, cheer, and the escapism of a good time.

This special holiday edition will feature:

* THE JUSON WILLIAMS INSPIRATIONAL SINGERS (Choir) have performed with artists such as Sam Smith on The 60th Annual Grammy’s, Shania Twain on the Today Show, and Pentatonix at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. Williams, the founder and owner of the choir,  has worked with Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, and Ashanti.

* JULIA VAN CARTIER-ROTHSCHILD (Drag Queen) was the winner of New York’s Next Top Drag Queen at the Metropolitan Room in 2018 – and her Christmas extravaganza, “We Three Queens,” along with Ruby Powers and Strawberry Fields, is legendary.
