International chanteuse and comedienne extraordinaire Meow Meow brings her unique brand of holiday hilarity and musical mayhem. A rollicking tonic, “Feline Festive” will rekindle the spirt of the holidays, featuring a band of superb musicians and music ranging from jazzy vintage showbiz to wicked, witty Weimar 1920’s tunes, French chansons, and original and contemporary classics.

“There are not many women who can stun an audience into pin-drop silence with an exquisitely delivered torch song one moment and rock the rafters with laughter the next.” - The Evening Standard (UK) 

“She’s bawdy and brash, tender and vulnerable; she’s graceful and klutzy, commanding and helpless. She’s a singer who hits every vocal nuance, whether serious or satiric; a high-energy dancer who could probably double as a contortionist; a comic who draws roars from pratfalls, subtle glances, punchlines and sensuality. She calls herself Meow Meow and—need I say this after that lead-in—she’s wonderful.” - Huffington Post

“The voice alone is glorious in its range and texture. But combine it with carefully chosen songs, superb comic timing, improvisational wit, and some engaging audience participation, so cannily conducted that you suspect a degree in psychology, and you have an evening that demonstrates that Meow Meow really is the cat's whiskers.” - The Guardian
