We had a great time! Very entertaining and perfect “spot-on” impersonation of Red Skelton. Reminded us of our childhood family TV nights watching the Red Skelton show. We’ve seen plenty of Elvis impersonation shows, some good and some not. But Brian Hoffman became Red for us and his comedy took us right back to those family nights. Funny, entertaining, and a great evening together with friends. I would strongly,y recommend going to this show when visiting the Pigeon Forge area.

If you’ve seen Red Skelton you’ll love this tribute show!! He has the mannerisms, facial expressions, and the jokes down to a T!!! You’d almost swear it’s Red himself!! I totally loved the entire show, including learning about the history of Red and of Brian (the tribute star), the costumes, the jokes, and seeing all the artwork and posters around the theater! I highly recommend this show if you loved Red Skelton himself!

I'm not old enough to have seen the Red Skelton show on television, so it was great to meet all the "characters" that he played. I was impressed by his open appreciation of God and Country. Brian Hoffman is so personable, and he will chat with you, and let you take photos. The theater is also a small museum, and I spent a good 30 minutes just looking at all the interesting memorabilia.

Great experience. Kind and helpful staff. Clean, funny, entertaining. Learned so much about Red Skelton and his journey from poverty. And his integrity and standing up to corrupt power. An All America hero to inspire us. We need to hear and remember what actually made America great was people like Red who led their lives with integrity, moral courage and kindness.

What a treat! It is so cool that Red is still being remembered and celebrated for his humor and kindness. In today’s world it is doubtful there will ever be another comedian like Red Skelton. His jokes are timeless and I thank Brian for his work and dedication to keeping Red’s legacy alive. A great way to just slow down and enjoy 90 minutes with Red!

This was a delightful performance and took me back many, many years. How refreshing to attend a show and not have to worry about obscenities or racial/ethnic slurs. Brian does an excellent impersonation, and I am impressed that the Red Skelton family endorses his shows./

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Good, clean humor! Brian Hoffman does a wonderful job impersonating Red Skelton. The theater is small and intimate.
