New York concert tickets

You might mistake her for a lost rodeo clown, but superstar drag artist Dina Martina is a unique and hilarious genius. She blends the traditional elements of a drag show—singing (sort of), dancing (in a way), jokes and stories (stream of consciousness)—into an intoxicating cocktail of demented glee. Her annual Christmas show features "overburdened costumes" and accompanist Chris Jeffries. The Dina experience is hard to describe and even harder to forget. Don't miss out.

New York is burnin' up for the JoBros. The Jonas Brothers are bringing Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour with Jesse McCartney, Franklin Jonas & Deleasa to UBS Arena on December 21 and Barclays Center on December 22, 2025. Tickets are now on sale, and it's highly recommended that you buy them in advance, since the band is celebrating the milestone with large crowds and iconic special guests, including Jordin Sparks, JoJo, 5 Seconds of Summer, Jason Mraz and more.

The comedic chanteuse Catherine Cohen has delighted NYC audiences for years, whether in her weekly Cabernet Cabaret show at Club Cumming or cohosting the hilarious weekly hang podcast, Seek Treatment, with Pat Regan. Now she returns to Joe's Pub—where she filmed her 2022 Netflix special, The Twist...? She's Gorgeous—with a new night of subversive songs, fabulous looks and self-directed diva worship. Expect a few numbers from her 2024 album, Overdressed.

Julia Mattison and Joel Waggoner's holiday show began as an online lark: they challeneged themselves to write a new song for each December day before Christmas. But it has since grown into a yearly live tradition, most recently at Joe's Pub. This year, popular demand has propelled the show into a longer run (eight shows) in a larger space at the Public (the Shiva Theater). Mattison and Waggoner are very gifted performers and musical comedians—she earned a Tony nomination earlier this year for co-writing the score to Death Becomes Her—so their yuletide originals and improvised carols have the potential to knock your stockings off. 

Jazzukkah is back this Hanukkah season for its third annual concert in New York City on Sunday, December 14 at Greenwich Village's Groove.  The Jazzukkah Projects is an ensemble of musicians putting a "jazz, er, spin" on the beloved canon of holiday music. From "Maoz Tzur" to "Sevivon," their fresh arrangements blend swing, soul and celebration—made for audiences of all ages to enjoy. This year, the band features vocals from Elana Rozenfeld, Gilad Abro on the bass, Alon Benjamini on the drums and Itamar Dahan playing the keys, all led by producer Gil Shefler.  Jazzukah will have 11am and 1pm showtimes on December 14 at Groove (125 MacDougal Street). Tickets are on sale now for $25.95 per person. 

Jackie Beat has been doing Christmas shows for more than two decades: You can’t stop the Beat. Her classic carol parodies—such as "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Syphilis" and "Santa's Baby"—are hilarious, and her powerhouse vocals are impressive. But it's her improvisations and crowd work that demonstrate what a natural-born entertainer looks like in the spotlight.

He’s worked with Liza Minnelli, Kylie Minogue and just about every downtown act in NYC. Now composer, pianist and performer Lance Horne hosts his own wild night of singing, drinking and dancing, strip-teasing and bad behavior at the East Village nightlife hub Club Cumming. Expect advanced show-tune geekery and appearances by Broadway stars looking to get down by the piano. Plan to sleep in on Tuesday.

Three Birdland mainstays—the clarion-voiced Klea Blackhurst, the waggish host Jim Caruso and the velvety pianist-crooner Billy Stritch—get into the swing of the holiday season with their 16th annual set of set of jazzy Christmas classics.

PJ Adzima, who currently plays the hopeful but hopelessly repressed Elder McKinley in Broadway's The Book of Mormon, hosts a neovaudevillian monthly variety show at the Slipper Room that proffers an eclectic mix of musical-theater, comedy, drag, circus and burlesque performances. A down-and-dirtier version of the show also plays there every week on Saturdays at midnight.

Joe Iconis is a mainstay of local musical-theater songwriting, and he parties as well as he composes: His shows, stuffed with longtime friends and collaborators, have an exuberant sense of community. Now he returns to 54 Below with the 15th annual edition of his rollicking holiday show. In addition to the usual gang—which has swelled to almost 50 performers—he is joined here by Broadway treasure Annie Golden.
