This season, Mizrahi brings audiences A Holiday Fruitcake, a festive new edition of his acclaimed holiday music extravaganza. Designer, actor, singer, raconteur, and all-around cultural provocateur, Mizrahi returns to Café Carlyle with the singular blend of musical artistry, cultural commentary, and razor-sharp wit that has made him a beloved Carlyle fixture for more than a decade.

Backed by his sensational six-piece jazz band led by pianist Ben Waltzer, Mizrahi serves up an eclectic evening of holiday favorites, surprising musical discoveries, and signature glamour. The music spans generations and genres - from the urbane sophistication of Noël Coward to the contemporary cool of Billie Eilish - with plenty of unexpected detours along the way. Together, Mizrahi and his band create the kind of “cultural whiplash” audiences have come to expect: sophisticated, unpredictable, and endlessly entertaining.

Part concert, part comedy show, and part holiday party, A Holiday Fruitcake mixes dazzling musicianship with laugh-out-loud stories, sharp observations, and moments of genuine warmth. Hailed by The New York Times as “a founding father of a genre that fuses performance, art, music and stand-up comedy,” Mizrahi brings his distinctive charm to a holiday celebration that is equal parts elegant, outrageous, and utterly unforgettable.
