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./

What a great way to re-live wonderful memories as a child! My brother and I attended this show, along with other people our age who grew up as children watching Red Skelton with our parents and siblings. Brian Hoffman was genuine in his demeanor and his love of honoring the man he portrayed. It was a small quaint theatre, which was great because part of the joy of Red’s routines was being close enough to see all his expressions… just like we could on those old TV sets.
