Attending 'The Pee-Wee Herman Show'

For the record, I did not pay money to attend this show. Instead, I have a very nerdy boyfriend who has many nerdy friends who enjoy nerdy things -- and apparently, things that star men who like to play with their private parts.

So, as true nerds would only do it, we attend "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" on opening night.

Let me paint the picture of the crowd in attendance at this special engagement ...

Imagine the misfit wanna-bes who take classes and hang out 24/7 at the Improv Olympic. Well, multiply that 'type' by 1,000 and add in a few random F-list celebs like Doug Benson
(do you even know who that is?) ... and one racist. That's right, of all the seats in the house, I had the honor of sitting smack dab behind Kramer, er ... Michael Richards. Woo woo!

So, I gotta say, thank god for Dusty, who had the brilliant idea to meet for drinks beforehand -- genius!

When I said I would go to the show, I imagined it would only consist of Paul Reubens  ... squealing onstage ... making jokes only the Jedi Nation would enjoy ... wearing merely a bow tie.

To my surprise, the show was actually a full out, Broadway-type show -- with sets and lighting and crazy colors and things flying from the sky and all! Now we're talking ... I was shocked. 

Well, there wasn't any singing (a la my Big Apple faves), but the show was ... seriously ... fun! Everyone was cheering and laughing and screaming -- and The Racist loved it more than anyone! Even though, he did mysteriously leave for the bathroom half-way through the show not to return.
 

I have never been to a showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" -- but I would guess this spectacle would be what it's like -- minus the goth, theater freaks and instead infused with the goofy-looking, middle-class suburia-raised unemployed comedy kids.  Okay, that was mean. I love Charlene Yi. 

Had this not been opening night, I'm not sure it would have been as fun. But I am glad I went. It was random and silly and FUN! Ahhhhh!!! The secret word!!!!!

And no, I did not buy a Pee Wee bow tie t-shirt but as expected, it was the first souvenir to sell out.  Ladies, if you're lookin' for a mate ... stay away from the Club Nokia at L.A. Live till Feb 7th.
