John McGivern serves up a steady stream of holiday stories from his Eastside of Milwaukee childhood. They recall an age of innocence bounded by Thanksgiving Dinner Traditions, Santa’s handcrafted Christmas toys, Midnight Mass Expectations, and New Year’s Eve adult only parties in the Bartlett Avenue finished basement. This show recounts holidays past and present and is guaranteed to generate loads of laughs and a warm, holiday glow.

John is best known for his Emmy-award winning work on PBS, “Around the Corner with John McGivern.” His one-man shows, “The Early Stories Of John McGivern,” “Midsummer Night McGivern,” and “John McGivern’s Home For The Holidays” tell the stories of growing up in a working-class Irish Catholic family in Milwaukee.
