WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT JACKIE BEAT...

“A true triple threat...Talent, Beauty and the Beat. Jackie has it all! A great talent, pure genius!” - RuPaul
"Beat is a trained theater actress, but no amount of training could make a person this talented, this witty, or this scathing. The show should just be called ’Jackie Beat is a Fucking Genius.’" - The Village Voice
“Menacing, sad and hysterically funny... and then there’s the voice. Jackie’s voice has the power and range of a Broadway star and an old-school Black Diva.” - Provincetown Magazine
"Beat's sharp stand-up routine remains virtually unchallenged in the drag scene." - HX Magazine
"Hilarious... Incredibly satisfying... Seriously recommended. What are you waiting for?"

"Beat keeps the crowd howling!" - New York Post
"A breath (make that a blast) of fresh air in a genre that constantly teeters on the brink of irrelevance." - Genre Magazine
"If she actually slays you with her barbed-wire witticism, I'm sure that she'll politely step over your carcass on the way to the bar." - HX Magazine

"Jackie Beat is so funny she could get laughs by merely reading the want ads." - The LA Weekly
"Ms. Beat's performances are in little danger of being relegated to the theme-club, drag queen barrio from which she is rapidly emerging as a star." - Bang Magazine
Jackie Beat is superb. Rippingly funny... Equally hilarious and oddly moving. A polished performer, her wigs and costumes reveal rather than mask." - The LA Weekly
"Jackie Beat is a campy riot!" - The LA Reader
"You haven't arrived on the scene until you have felt the cold glare of Jackie Beat reading your tired ass." - Planet Homo

AND THE CRITICS JUST LOVE JACKIE'S AWARD-WINNING HOLIDAY SHOW, TOO...

“Jackie Beat’s holiday show will knock you out!” - The Village Voice
“A hilarious not-to-be-missed holiday tradition!” - HX Magazine

Books
Just finished "Dark at the Roots" by Sarah Thyre. LOVED IT! Right now I am tearing through Rue McClanahan's saucy autobiography, "My First Five Husbands." In case you've been living under a rock for the past 25 years, you just awoke from a coma, you're stupid and/or straight or you are a mere child who idolizes Jeffree Star -- Rue played Blanche Deveraux on The Golden Girls. Turns out she was quite the slut in real life, too! A MUST READ! Update: Just finished Rue's book (GENIUS!) and then I read "Starstruck" by Michael Joseph Gross. SO GOOD! Fame is so fucked. Just finished CULT OF THE AMATEUR by Andrew Keen -- highly recommended! Okay, an update: Finished "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" by David Sedaris (loved it!) and "Life With My Sister Madonna" by Christopher Ciccone (no Pulitzer Prize here, but fun!) and now I am reading "Right Is Wrong" by Arianna Huffington. Had to put Ariana's book down for awhile and read "Hollywood Gays" -- sent to me for my birthday from Senor Amor & Miss Jonona. Thanks! It was a great read! Then my pal Daniel loaned me Chelsea Handler's book "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" and it was a fluffy good time. I love how when someone kisses her without permission she calls it "Face Rape". Anyhoo, back to Ariana...

Inmiddels zijn 200 boeken verkocht en de pers is positief over Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel.
Duits.de: ‘Ik vind dat Jonker … die klus heel goed geklaard heeft.’ ‘Het boek is over de gehele linie - algemene geschiedenis en muziekgeschiedenis - toegankelijk geschreven en bevat talrijke anekdotes.’ ‘Alles wat langs moet komen komt dan ook langs: de jazzgekte van de jaren '20, de Schlagers van de jaren '30 en '40, Rock'n Roll, Punk, Techno - alles.’
Festivalinfo.nl: '... geeft het boek een zeer goed en uitgebreid beeld van de muziekcultuur in Berlijn.'
FONK: 'Al met al is het werkje een leuke alternatieve reisgids voor wie binnenkort naar de Duitse hoofdstad gaat. Kort, krachtig en vlot opgepend.'
Trajectum: '... is vooral voor Berlijn- én muziekfans een must voor in de trein richting Berlin Hauptbahnhof (waar je na het lezen van de eerste pagina's meteen op wilt stappen).'
