Lard Dog Gets A New Home This Spring In NYC- Peoples Improv Theater For The Month Of March!
INCLUDES A ONE NIGHT ONLY ADULTS ONLY SHOW!
Lard Dog and his 6-piece Band of Shy are packing up their unique audio-visual universe, bubble wrap, pretzels and all to move into the famed Peoples Improv Theater comedy theater for the month of March. Come play along and slurp the noodle of life with the whole family, Saturdays 3/4-3/18.
And catch the high-anticipated "Adults-Only" version of the show on March 17th at 11pm. Grownups get ready to stay up late with the after dark version of the rave reviewed rockabilly show-one night only! Parents' Choice Award winners Lard Dog & The Band of Shy have burst onto the family entertainment scene of NYC. In the past year they have converted the families of New York to be fans of their quirky universe and highly infectious tunes. The message of the show is all about living your best life- or as they encourage their followers to "slurp the noodle of life!" and people are all for it. Lard Dog and his 6-piece Band of Shy invite you into their unique audio-visual world complete with catchy songs, interactive props, multi-media graphics, and a pretzel toss! It's unfiltered, absurdist humor that's high energy and true good clean fun that engrosses the audience, no matter what age.
From their 2015 15 show run at the 13th Street Repertory Theater through their 2016 shows at Joe's Pub and their recent fall performance at Symphony Space, the fans and press can't get enough. Described by one reviewer as a "Rocky Horror Picture show for kids" and another as "Pee Wee Herman meets the B52's", The New York Times 'Spare Times' said they have "a Devo sensibility", all on point and noble comparisons well earned by this truly imaginative group that goes to the beat of their own drummer... her name is Whoops Lady Wonga.
Darren Critz, Director of Performing Arts Programs at Symphony Space said Lard Dog is "truly one of the oddest and most compelling afternoons of unbridled silliness I may have ever experienced. If there's not a "children's cult classic" genre of family entertainment, there is now." And Mindy Thomas - Program Director, SiriusXM's Kids Place Live said "This show is a full-on sensory experience! Such a treat for the eyes and ears, with surprises popping from every direction. I was afraid to blink for fear I'd miss something!" More at houseoflard.com.
