Two guys from Stoughton, Wisconsin, make it big in comedy and then follow their passion by collecting more than 13,000 weird VHS tapes, touring the country and screening the best/dumbest bits with commentary. The era of VHS as a technology coincides with wacky infomercials, bad exercise trends and large hair for a winning combo. In this 20th anniversary show, comedians Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The Late Show) re-run their all-time faves. Watching the clips in a theater of the like-minded is half the fun.
media release: This is a General Admission – All Seated Show. Tickets: $18.00 Advance/$21.00 Day Of Show. Doors at 7PM | Show at 8PM
