Hamell Happy Holidaze Hoot at the 443 Social Club

"He plays a 1937 Gibson guitar with a jackhammer force that makes you wonder how it doesn't fall apart. The powerful, profane, hilarious, one-man wrecking crew known as Hamell On Trial." - Brian Cornish

Hamell’s Happy Holidaze Hoot! Hurray!

One wouldn’t think Hamell’s annual holiday show, audience-acclaimed and critically celebrated, could get any more festive. That time of the year certainly lends itself to family and friends, memories and plans, an intangible sense of warmth and camaraderie. The perfect time for Hamell’s kind of show, and he brings the goods.

(I mean, there’s dick jokes too - this ain’t Perry Como)

Then Hamell had a thought. If the tenure of these times is indeed anxiety inducing and fractured maybe a sense of community is more important now than ever. What better place to do it than the 443? How to achieve this bond…How about an audience sing-along? Yes. Yes indeed.

Hamell created a playlist of songs he felt inspirational to these times, created a collectable songbook with original art to be given to each patron and the results at Hamell’s spring show at the 443 were nothing short of a riot fest. Surprise guests, volunteers from the audience, and loud, dare I say cathartic, singing from ALL involved. And, from what I understand, three times the amount of drinking than usual. Hurray!

Hamell’s doing it again for two nights right after Thanksgiving. Holiday themed songs, jokes, stories and poems, two sets, Hamell does the holiday show first set, short break… the singalong!

You’re not gonna wanna miss this, the perfect way to kick off the season!
