Remembering Red- A Tribute To Red Skelton

If you remember Red Skelton, or want your kids to know him, don’t miss this show. I felt very connected to Brian Hoffman while he was on stage. He would interact with the audience and the audience felt they could interact with them. Sometimes he would be found laughing at an audience member’s comments. I don’t know how he did it but he really tapped into the spirit of Red Skeleton.
At the beginning of the show Brian interacted with us to take our tickets and mingle around. After the show he stuck around and was very willing to talk to and interact with us on a more personal basis. I’m sure everyone was wondering what the 20 something kids were doing there, but I LOVED IT.
I would for sure suggest this show to anyone. It’s a great family atmosphere. Side note, a lady in the audience was coughing pretty hard and Brain was made sure she was ok; then even got her a bottle of water. Classy people. Thanks Brian for helping me remember what an astounding man Red Skeleton was.

I watched this show last week while I was visiting Las Vegas. It was really great! I laughed, I cried, and I reminisced. All I could think about the whole time I was watching, was how badly I want to bring my grandpa to see Brian Hoffman’s show!
I loved how he interacted with the crowd before, during and after the show! It really added to the overall experience.
Thank you for a reprieve from the heat, and a heart warming show. This will be a show I remember for a lifetime.

Red Skelton is reincarnated — this is excellent tribute to Red and his favorite characters on his 20 year TV show. We laughed so much. This is worth while going to. Its an afternoon show in a wonderful small theater setting. The chairs and side tables for your drink (if you so wish) are a great way to enjoy 90 minutes — and rest your feet. The setting itself is so comfortable– but with «Red» joining you for those 90 minutes a very memorable moment.
While another Unilocal reviewer was concerned about American Values and some references to «God» in the show, the people who complained on Unilocal have never seen Red Skelton Show. Without them, it would not be Red. Treat them as what America in many communities was like in the 1950’s and the 1960’s… its a good way to remember those traditional family values as well.
When CBS fired Red, he took all his TV show tapes with him and never allowed them in syndication. If you were to see them, you would know how blessed we are with this wonderful tribute show… Luckily Red Skelton will soon have a museum in his home town in Indiana as well. But for those who want to relive a little part of early TV history; enjoy some wonderful moments, this show is «right on»
As a pre-​show there are early TV ads; some funny animal picture moments, and more on the 2 TV sets in the theater. They themselves bring you back to the wonderful early days of TV.
So for those who want to see a more personal show in a wonderful and comfortable show room (makes you feel like you are in a comfortable chair in your living room) go see Red.
And his skit on drinking alcohol is worth the cost of admission by itself.
and with the afternoon show time of 2:00 — its well worth putting on your must see list when in Las Vegas. It only plays 3 or 4 days a week so check the show web site for when it plays. We bought our tickets on Goldstar — and it was a steal to see this excellent well thought out and enjoyable show.
Good job — and hope to see it again on another trip in the future. Its worth taking your mom or dad or anyone over age 50 to. They will enjoy it even further as they remember their youth — and sneaking to watch the TV and Red Skelton as a youth.

Brian Hoffman did a great job with bringing Red Skelton back to life.
His portrayal was spot on. The part that my entire family abhorred was the christian preaching that was entwined throughout the entire show. We did not pay to come to a comedy show to listen to the comedian/​actor pontificate. Unless you are a god fearing christian, (btw. there are many of us who are not) this is not your show.

My wife & I went to this show when we were in Las Vegas for her birthday. The show contained many of Red’s best remembered routines & characters delivered in a manner that looked and sounded exactly like the original. We laughed until we cried. The show was great and one of the best values in Vegas. We look forward to returning to see the show again.

The only family comedy show in vegas.
For those of you old enough to remember Red this guy does a fantastic job. Does all the characters without a single word of profanity.
Looks like Red, talks like Red, acts like Red.
Great experience.

This is a great show for all people who remember the Great Red Skelton. Brian Hoffman did a wonderful job in portraying Red Skelton. His jokes were all clean and skits were well done. It was like seeing Red Skelton again. I would recommend this show to everyone who enjoyed Red Skelton many years ago and learn the history of this great actor. If you did not then the show would not have the same meaning. I hope people will support this show to keep the memory of Red Skelton alive.
