An antidote to the most stressful of seasons, the Annual Christmas Without Tears Variety Charity live program goes virtual for its 15th year. What began as a humble holiday house party to chase away Judith’s yuletide blues became a charity event and performance in 2005 when they staged it to aid the people of New Orleans after Katrina. This year's event is benefiting the US and UK music communities that have been devastated due to the cancelation of live shows and the closure of venues.

“It may be Christmas in lockdown but this year’s CWT benefit promises to be every bit the reverent/irreverent home party it’s famous for... the perfect antidote to strange times, whilst helping our music community. A veritable festoon of stars and homegrown talent alike. Now all we need is YOU!” - Judith Owen & Harry Shearer

Just added! Catherine O’Hara, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Doña Oxford, Mario Cantone, Jeffrey Young, Godfrey Daniels, The SongBirds (Gaby Moreno, Erica Canales and Dannielle DeAndrea), Classical Kicks (Lizzie Ball, Meghan Cassidy, Gabriella Swallow), and a special tribute To Fred Willard.
