In a swanky concert inspired by the glitz and glamour of late-night TV, LAB-A brought holiday favorites and new classics to life. With a live band, host Katie Kelley, and special guests Tiffany Johns and John Snell, it was a festive and memorable evening. Thanks for celebrating in style with LAB-A as part of our live studio audience for our holiday special. We're glad we could keep your December merry and bright!
About the Show
About the Show
A Brassy Little Christmas is the annual holiday special from an imaginary SNL-like TV show, Late Night in Los Angeles, hosted by our wry and witty host Katie Kelly.
Our audience will experience the concert as a live TV studio recording, seeing some “televised” and some “behind the scenes” elements. This concert brings together commentary on recent Los Angeles events, musings on the holiday season, and big band holiday music performed by LAB-A, who plays our onstage band, The Late Night Lights.
LAB-A will pull in classic elements of late night TV, such as celebrity interviews and guest performances from Tiffany Johns and John Snell, comedy, and live music, creating a fun and immersive concert experience for our studio audience!
