Puddles Pity Party makes a two-night stand at Center Stage
The preternaturally sized clown has stolen America's hearts and minds
Riding international fame stoked by a series of viral YouTube videos, and a meteoric run at mainstream stardom on “America’s Got Talent,” Puddles Pity Party brings Mike Geier’s battered suitcase full of tissues, glum-faced countenance, and baritone voice to Center Stage for a two-night stand. Albeit only one of several performing personas embodied by the enormously talented, preternaturally sized (6’-8”) Geier, Puddles has eclipsed them all. Who would have thought the saddest clown in the known universe singing a wacky mashup of the Who’s “Pinball Wizard” and Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” could capture the hearts and minds of so many?
$29-$44 (each night). Dec. 21-22. 7 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St. 404-885-1365. www.centerstage-atlanta.com.
