"Absolutely high-f**king-larious! GO, GO, GO!" -- Dan Savage, author and columnist
"A blend of song, dance, comedy and prayer that will make you piss your pants. Adult underpants suggested." -- The Village Voice
"Her nut-job brilliance has to be seen to be believed." -- Next Magazine
"Performance art never looked so good!" -- Whoopi Goldberg
Acclaimed Seattle performance artist DINA MARTINA makes a highly anticipated return to New York with DINA MARTINA’S YULE LOG, for a limited engagement beginning November 28 at The Cutting Room. After attaining cult status in her native town of Seattle and in Provincetown, Martina’s official New York premiere in 2005 sold out in minutes. Her subsequent shows have left jaded New York audiences (including Whoopi Goldberg, Law & Order’s S. Epatha Merkerson, "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan, Joyce DeWitt, John Cameron Mitchell, John Waters, Margaret Cho, and Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright) stunned and clamoring for more.
DINA MARTINA’S YULE LOG, like all of Martina’s surreal shows, is a unique night of entertainment that assaults the senses like no other show. Her unforgettable blend of peculiar music, stupefying comedy and bizarre performance has been described as "a train wreck in heels", "like Vegas on crack" and "one of the best nightmares you'll ever have".
DINA MARTINA was conceived in 1989 by Seattle performer Grady West, who developed the hilariously unwitting character into a multi-faceted persona. Dina’s shows have been presented in Seattle at venues including On The Boards, Re-bar, The Jewelbox Theater and Experience Music Project as well as in cities including Provincetown, Vancouver, Portland and San Francisco. Martina has also shared the bill with acts such as Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, Justin Bond, Nina Hagen and The Village People. In 1997, West was nominated for a Stranger Fringe Theater Award for best solo show and in 1999 and 2004 he received Footlight Awards from The Seattle Times. This past August, Martina made her Wigstock debut with a mesmerizing rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
DINA MARTINA’S YULE LOG runs November 28 - December 13, Tuesdays at 7:30pm and Wednesdays at 9:30pm. Tickets are $18. The Cutting Room is located at 19 West 24th (accessible from the N,R,F,V & 6 trains at 23rd Street). To purchase tickets call 212-352-3101 or visit TheaterMania.com.
