Jazz Baby is the legendary, timeless, original cabaret croon, occasional Costco sampler, and avid collector of fine jewels, gemstones, and jerky. She’s a full-time lover and part-time sexual guru. For one night only, the unrivaled ‘Godmother of Showbiz’ brings her signature tap-dance and side-splitting entertainment to the iconic Trestle Inn for an unforgettable evening of musical comedy.
Best known as America’s first darling, beloved icon, and EGOT winner, Jazz Baby, has been enchanting global audiences for decades. Her magnetic charm, comedic prowess, and sheer talent will ooze off the stage and razzle-dazzle your senses.
JAZZ BABY FEVER has swept the nation, and critics and colleagues sing her praises:
Carol Burnett calls her, “Truly Terrific! A very dear friend and mentor.”
Cher says, “I hate that bitch, she’s fantastic.”
Liza Minnelli exclaims, “Bawdy! Zany! Godmother Jazz is a vaudevillian trailblazer!”
The late Carol Channing, colleague and bosom buddy, described her as “A bright, sensational star in the cosmic thespian sky!”

In short, Jazz Baby brings the Razzle, you bring the Dazzle…

Virginia Beach native and longtime Philly resident Rebekah Rickards is a comedian, choreographer, educator, and producer. She creates character and movement-based narratives that celebrate human fate, failure, and inevitable victory.

She produces a monthly comedy cabaret; Jazz Baby, Live!, on the third Thursday of every month at the iconic Trestle Inn. Rebekah, as Jazz Baby, also hosts ‘Thank You, Places!’; an improvised musical on the final Thursday of every month at Tavern on Camac.
Other original characters include Miss Hamm; a 92-year-old, rapping granny who leads BINGO! benefits and epic lip sync battles and Philly’s favorite motivational party starter Dr. Thunder brought pussy power to the Philly Dyke March this year as a featured performer.
Jazz Baby, Dr. Thunder, and Miss Hamm are only a few of the many comedic characters Rebekah has created and performed to bring the PARTY to audiences everywhere. Follow IG @rebekah.rickards to stay connected on future shows and workshops.
