Whether you know him from his hit HBO show Crashing or his popular podcast You Made It Weird, Pete Holmes has made it clear that he is a funny guy. In his newest special, Silly Silly Fun Boy, Pete performs at The Aladdin Theatre as he unpacks scorpion bites suffered abroad, reflects on unlucky elevator superstitions, and explains how Harry Potter might actually hold a few surprising clues about the meaning of life. In classic Pete fashion, every observation swirls together into something both wonderfully ridiculous and surprisingly sincere.
From his gentle parenting strategies and the tender chaos of raising a small human to an unexpected John Wick revelation, Pete continues to flex his trademark blend of warm, introspective absurdity. This electric, against-the-grain special feels intimate and immediate, almost as if you were seated in the room during the live taping. No glitz, no glam, no overproduced spectacle. Just Pete, a microphone, and an audience ready to be delighted by the simple power of one vulnerable person telling truths in the funniest way possible. Get ready to be understood as Pete fondly reminisces about Subway sandwiches, breaks down personal shoe policies he wholeheartedly disagrees with, and expresses genuine adoration for the friends and family who continue to shape his world.
Tune in to the premiere of Silly Silly Fun Boy on 800 Pound Gorilla's YouTube channel on March 24th at 7 PM CST! Pete will be in the live chat, so pop in and ask him questions about his special!
