Leslie Jordan in 'Show Pony' at The Palm in Vallarta The Palm Cabaret
December 24, 2013

Actor and comedian Leslie Jordan is a small town man with a giant propensity for scene stealing.

Leslie is best known for his raucous, outrageous recurring role as Karen Walker’s nemesis Beverley Leslie on the television classic Will & Grace (garnering an Emmy for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, 2006) as well as his career defining role as ‘Brother Boy’ in both the original film Sordid Lives and the recent Logo TV sensation, Sordid Lives, The Prequel.

'Show Pony' will take the stage at the Palm Cabaret & Bar in Old Town Vallarta beginning on Friday, December 27, 7:30 pm, and continuing until January 12, 2014.

Leslie is also well known for his outrageous and memorable appearances in commercials and hit television shows including American Horror Story, Reba, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Alley McBeal, Boston Legal, Murphy Brown, Monk and as a series regular on the 80's sitcom Hearts Afire. Most recently, Jordan gave us a brief yet indelible splash performance (cartwheels anyone?) in the Academy Award winning box office sensation The Help.

A veteran of the live stage as well, his one-man autobiographical shows include Hysterical Blindness, and other Southern Maladies That Have Affected My Life Thus Far, Full of Gin & Regret, Stories I Can’t Tell Mama (which he’ll perform in Vallarta), Deck Them Halls Y’All and My Trip Down the Pink Carpet, which was based on the best-selling autobiography of the same name and filmed as an HBO Special.

Mr. Jordan also won the Ovation Award, The Garland Award and The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his portrayal of Preston Leroy, the aging, sodden barfly in Del Shores hit play Southern Baptist Sissies.

Advance reservations are highly recommended (last season he sold out all 8 of his shows).

Show dates are December 27, 28, 29 & 31 and January 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 & 12.

Tickets for ‘Show Pony’ may be purchased online at The Palm PV  or at the door starting 2 hours before showtime each evening. Tickets may also be purchased online through Vallarta Tickets. During the day, Salud Super Foods (two doors south of The Palm) will sell tickets. PVRPV’s concierge desk also has tickets available at the corner of Pino Saurez and Madero from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm each day except Sunday.

The Palm is well known for bringing top notch, cutting edge entertainment to Vallarta. Inside you’ll find an intimate, 90 seat cabaret with outstanding sound and lighting, creating the ambience of cabarets from days gone by. Shows are scheduled 7 nights per week with two different shows nightly. A full calendar of performances is available online at The Palm.
