A gentle-hearted “Santanist,” Sugar Plum Gary is a bushy-bearded man in jolly footie pajamas who has been haunted by the Holiday Spirit ever since he experienced the real Santa, an ancient and sinister creature more Lovecraft than Dickens. Asking simply, “Does anyone have a question about Christmas?,” Gary unfolds an evening of hilarious and twisted holiday glee that begins on the fateful night when Santa visited the Rankin Bass Home for Unfortunate Children, leaving Gary as the only survivor.

Join Seattle stand-up comedian, storyteller, and gentle weirdo Emmett Montgomery for a delightful and sometimes terrifying adventure that’s always a different show every night.

About the Artist
Sugar Plum Gary is presented by Seattle stand-up comedian, storyteller, and gentle weirdo, Emmett Montgomery. Known for creating opportunities for odd, fun times on Seattle stages for two decades, Emmett was in the top 100 of season nine of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, voted by the readers of Seattle Weekly as “Seattle’s Best Comedian” three times and declared by the Stranger “a undisputable genius of Seattle comedy.” Emmett currently runs the twice-monthly stand-up variety showcase, Joketellers Union, with cartoonist Brett Hamil at Clock-Out Lounge. He’s one of the hosts of the Seattle Moth Storyslam, travels the country performing stand-up, teaches story-telling and comedy workshops, and is quite possibly one of the Pacific Northwest’s best paper bag puppet makers.
