PUDDLES Brings His Pity Party To The Southern Theatre. 3/20
The "Sad Clown with the Golden Voice" has amassed 286k fans on Facebook and more than 76 million views on YouTube with his indelible interpretations by ABBA, Bowie, Cheap Trick, Queen, and his unforgettable mash-up of "Pinball Wizard/Folsom Prison Blues." Peppered with a brilliant sense of the absurd, Puddles Pity Party is a must-see performance of his melodramatic anthems and unique comedic hijinks, mixing lots of humor with the awkward, tender moments.
CAPA presents Puddles Pity Party at the Southern Theatre (21 E. Main St.) on Tuesday, March 20, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $33 and $43 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.
Originally from River City before kicking around Atlanta, the sulking serenader gained momentum after hitting the road as guest performer on the 2010 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live tour and 2013 Eels tour and making special appearances at Seattle's Teatro ZinZanni and NYC's Sleep No More.
For Halloween 2013, Puddles teamed up with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox to record an epic version of Lordes' hit song "Royals" which instantly went viral on YouTube, receiving more than 16 million views. The "sad clown with the golden voice" captivated audiences and media around the world, building a fan base of more than 167,000 on Facebook.
Puddles has since performed all over the planet garnering rave reviews at festivals like Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Perth Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Fest, and Belgium's Gent Fest. He was a feature performer in La Soiree's 2014 Southbank show (London) which won the Olivier Award. In 2015, Jack Black selected Puddles to perform multiple sets at Festival Supreme, and Puddles was handpicked by Neil Patrick Harris to perform Just For Laugh's "Circus Awesomeus" gala filmed for HBO Canada.
Puddles has appeared on "America's Got Talent," and toured extensively in the US at legendary venues like the Regency Ballroom (San Francisco), the Kennedy Center (DC), and the Troubadour (LA). Other worldwide festival appearances include the Festival Supreme (LA), Bumbershoot Festival (Seattle), Moontower Comedy Festival (Austin), and Bethlehem's MusikFest.
Today, the softhearted crooner continues to wander the world with melancholic pop anthems and free hugs for all the party people.
