Sedona News – Award-winning, renowned tribute Brian Hoffman comes to Sedona with his acclaimed live show “Remembering Red: A Tribute to Red Skelton”. There will be two performances March 7 and 8 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.

Take a heartfelt trip down memory lane. Reminisce with Brian Hoffman as he performs the jokes and routines that made Red Skelton famous.
Brian’s expert portrayal of Red Skelton will have you in stitches as he re-creates some of Red’s most well-known characters. Laugh with Clem Kadiddlehopper, that dim-witted country bumpkin. Giggle along with Gertrude and Heathcliffe, the two seagulls. Feel the love of Freddy the Freeloader, the hobo who lived in the city dump. Adding in a little “Guzzler’s Gin,” a couple of memorable pantomimes, and Red’s classic “Pledge of Allegiance” truly makes this the ultimate tribute to Red Skelton, one of America’s favorite clowns.
Celebrity Impersonator shows usually consist of “Singing Tribute Artists” such as Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and lately Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga. Brian took the road less traveled to re-create one of the greatest comedy legends in America. His comedy career of impersonating Red Skelton has not only allowed him to perform in Las Vegas, the “Entertainment Capitol of the World”, but travel and entertain baby boomers all over the United States.
His ability to look, walk and sound like Red Skelton takes the audiences back in time and sometimes forget that they are not watching the “Real Red Skelton”.
There will be two performances of “Remembering Red: A Tribute to Red Skelton” on Friday and Saturday, March 7 and 8 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance; and $35 at the door. All tickets include a meet-and-greet with Brian Hoffman in the lobby after the show.
