PUDDLES PITY PARTY UNSEQUESTERED SHOW TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2022 | 7:30 P.M. | PHILLIPS CENTER
Everyone’s favorite “Sad Clown with the Golden Voice” is coming to share his heartfelt melancholic pop anthems with all of you party people! In 2020, with touring cancelled, Puddles holed up in his studio and produced 12 episodes of his Still Sequestered show, which featured a variety of special guests like Jack Black, Penn Jillette, Michael Stipe, and Howie Mandel. All that was tremendous fun, and kept Puddles from feeling too lonely. But nothing makes Puddles less dejected than performing in front of a live audience of the best fans any sad clown could ask for. He is beyond excited to get back on the road and bring his all new Unsequestered Show to you!

LEMON ANDERSEN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2022 | 7:30 P.M. SQUITIERI STUDIO THEATRE
Tony Award®-winning playwright, poet, performance artist, and activist, Lemon Andersen is an artist like no other. He’s collaborated with icons including Spike Lee and LeBron James, but his work truly shines when he’s alone on a stage. Inspired by the stylings of Spalding Gray, When Aliens Fall from the Sky is a compilation of stories and poems from real citizens across the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Collected and shared by people who are both documented and undocumented, these journeys reveal a vast and colorful canvas of experiences of the small cities and big towns of America, or as Lemon likes to call it, “the bone marrow of our nation.” THIS PERFORMANCE MAY CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE.
