Last night David and I made our way out to Club Nokia in LA Live in downtown Los Angeles, CA to see The Pee Wee Herman Show live on stage. David got us tickets a few months ago and it turns out he got us front row center seats!!
The last two photos are not mine, I found them on Twitter because from our vantage point, we could not sneak cameraphone pics at all. The show is basically a live action version of the famed Pee Wee’s Playhouse TV show with all of the characters we know and love from the show. We had a blast!! To be honest, tho, this show is really for fans of the TV show. The fun came from remembering how much you loved the show as a kid … the humor, by today’s standards, is very tame. It’s deffo a must see if you are a Pee Wee Herman fan. The theater was full of adults, clearly the target audience ;)
Oh and the secret word of the day was: Fun!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
We had a blast.
Tonight, David and I will be call in guests on KNEWS FM 94.3 here in SoCal (you can listen online HERE) at 9PM PT and you can call in with questions as well (1-888-589-6397). Our friend and author Christopher Rice is hosting the show and we’re gonna help him talk about pop culture stuff. Should be fun :)
UPDATE: Anne Rice just announced that she will also be a guest on Christoper‘s show at 7PM PT on KNEWS 94.3 tonight!! Now you have to tune in!!
How awesome! Please tell me the cool cats were there?!
At Christmas we watched Pee Wee’s Xmas TV special (from ’88 or ’89 or something like that) – the cast is BRILLIANT (Cher, kd lang, Whoopi Goldberg, Grace Jones, Oprah, Little Richard, the list goes ON…). I would love to see this live show, too.
…
TRENT! What time you gonna be on the radio so I can call in with my best “have you checked the children?”
@Kent — We are on at 9PM PT, Anne Rice will be on at 7PM PT :)
Never mind, silly me, I just noticed you included the airtime in the post
