Yaas & Vyle Presents…the Gay(ER) Nutcracker
John Candy Box Theatre, 1 York Street

It’s the 1st annual Yaas & Vyle holiday sketch revue! Bask in the beautiful music of drag musical prodigy Jelly, and follow along as Auntie Hillary and Uncle Selena (she’s the one with the beard, so she’s the uncle!) tuck their nightly guest star in for Christmas Slumber with a “retelling” of the holiday classic Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker…” except waaaaaay gayer! And they might not even tell the story at all – I mean, come on, like it even HAD a story to begin with!? Featuring outrageous sketches with topics ranging from Elf on the Shelf to Home Alone, hilarious parody commercials, attempts at ballet & opera, and even one lucky audience member receiving a wintery “lap dance” – this is the dragged-out holiday sketch revue Nutcracker the liberals wanted!

Made with generous assistance from the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival’s Sketch Comedy Project Fund and the Pat and Tony Adam’s Freedom Fund for the Arts.

ABOUT YAAS & VYLE: They’re like the Trixie & Katya of Scarborough! The Jinkx & Dela of the Six! They are the “incomparable” drag duo Selena Vyle (Canadian Comedy Award Winner, Far Cry 6) and Hillary Yaas (Sketchfest 2022 Audience Choice, Camp Wannakiki on OutTV). Together they have produced endless RuPaul’s Drag Race Viewing parties, drag brunches and improv comedy shows like their popular Sex and the Golden Girls and The Play We Just Wrote Just Now. yaasandvyle.com
