5.00I have loved Red Skelton since I was a child. I remember sitting at our black and white TV and laughing together as a family. This show had me cracking up from the moment we walked in and met Brian. He kept the audience laughing, and did a wonderful job portraying Red Skelton. When I have people come to visit, I will be taking them to this show.
A great blast from the past

5.00This was an absolute blast. It has something for all ages and is well presented and professional. We took my wife's parents both in their late 80's, we're in our 50's and they loved it and surprisingly so did we. It's a combination of history, a salute to patriotism and many, many laughs, both new and old. Highly recommend you won't regret it and your ribs will be hurting from so much laughter.
What an excellent show very funny and I’d recommend it to everyone

A great show and perfect Red Skelton impersonation

5.00We 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.
Highly Recommend

5.00If 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!
Felt Like I Actually Met Red Skelton

5.00I'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.

5.00Great 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.
Thank you Brian!

5.00What 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!
