The Elvis impersonator MELVIS returns with a fun annual Christmas show, this year themed to “A Festivus for MELVIS and Us.” In addition to the centerpiece Airing of Grievances, there will be Elvis Christmas songs, other impersonations, the Hanukkah Song and more all within the convivial confines of the Bur Oak.

media release: Get ready for an evening of holiday laughs, music, and unexpected shenanigans as MELVIS presents their 4th annual holiday show, "A Festivus for MELVIS & Us", on December 17th at 8:00 PM at The Bur Oak (2262 Winnebago St). This year’s show takes a festive twist on the holiday season with a Seinfeld-inspired celebration of Festivus, the secular holiday made famous by George Costanza’s parents on the hit sitcom.

This holiday season, it’s a “Festivus for the rest of us,” and MELVIS is inviting everyone to join in the fun. The show will take cues from the classic Seinfeld episode, with the centerpiece being the “Airing of Grievances,” where the audience gets to write their own grievances, and MELVIS will read them out loud, creating a night filled with laughs, tunes, camaraderie, and pure holiday hilarity!

MELVIS has been captivating audiences since 2019. Known for blending authentic Elvis performances with comedic flair, MELVIS has become well-known for performing pop and obscure songs in Elvis’s signature style. Whether performing online or in person, MELVIS never fails to surprise with unexpected impersonations, including Wayne & Garth, Andy Kauffman’s alter-ego Tony Clifton, Sonny Bono & Cher, and even Rachel Maddow.

MELVIS promises a fun and quirky variety show, including Elvis Christmas classics, the beloved Hanukkah Song, and some revised lyrics to fit the Festivus holiday. As always, expect the unexpected: MELVIS will also perform dual impersonations, including Andy Kaufman’s alter ego, Tony Clifton, and a special rendition of “Mele Kalikimaka” sung both as Frank Sinatra and an Andrews Sister. It's a night filled with music, comedy, and surprises that will leave you feeling festive and full of holiday cheer.

Don't miss out on the fun—air your grievances, laugh it off, and celebrate the holidays with MELVIS and friends at “A Festivus for MELVIS & Us” on December 17 at 8pm at the Bur Oak. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show at 8:00 PM. Tickets are available now at theburoakmadison.com.
