Shells Hanukkah Holiday Mixer
Jews and Gentiles, Gays and Straights-Come ALL Ye Faithful!

Show Description

New York's favorite downtown diva, Shells Hoffman, invites people of all ages, income brackets and religious/sexual orientation to ring in the Festival of Lights with some song singing, Shiraz swilling and perhaps some drunk dialing. Come looking hot and be sure to sing along!

Fans are encouraged to email song requests to: TheShellsShow@gmail.com
 
 
“Heartbreakingly real, hilariously relatable”
–Jane Borden, Time Out NY, Critic’s Pick

“Real tragedy and painful humor… like a Beckett character”
–Justin Boyd, The Brooklyn Rail

Fresh out of a less-than-fulfilling relationship, Michelle "Shells” Hoffman is ready to shed her 9-to-5 facade and convince her ex that she is more than just a successful JP Morgan Senior Analyst. Hopping from hilarious original songs to tales of the "rough" life, Shells feverishly attempts to convince her audience and her ex that she is finally “over it.” Armed with a glass of Shiraz and a penchant for drunk-dialing the one person she should not, Shells demonstrates that the fabulous Sex And The City life she thinks she is living and the life she actually leads are two very different things. Hilarious, engaging and ultimately quite poignant, SHELLS leaves audience members cringing and saying, "I know her," or worse, "I am her!"

Love the photo, Shells! Meow! Can't wait to see what kind of disaster happens on stage this time around. The show is freakin' hilarious...and a little upsetting.

Had such a great time Tuesday night at Shells. Loved the harrasing of the poor Italians up front and her balls out rendition of Beautiful People. More more more!

Shells is the most original and funny act I've seen since moving to New York. Been to the show 3 times and can't get enough.
I would request that she sing more Lou Reed. So great!
