Great Show

Rick_A, Sep 2026
This is an excellent show very well done. You will be laughing for about a hour and a half. We have seen this show 3 times and will go again. It's good clean fun just like Red Skeleton himself did. Brian has dedicated himself to do things just the way Red did them. He has connections with Reds family and they have approved Brian's shop. Don't pass this show up.

An outstanding performance by a remarkable man.

Michael_M, Aug 2026
Brian met us outside the theatre before we entered, so I was flabbergasted. I said, "Red?" He said "yes." We had a good chat before he started....that's the kind of person he is. His show was remarkable, just like listening to and watching Skelton on TV. All the mannerisms and even the voice, and a lot of great jokes. The theatre is much nicer on the inside than one would guess from the outside appearance. Brian also improvised with a few jokes on current events, particularly politicians. Funny, especially after learning that some lines were from real politicians decades ago. Thanks, Brian. Enjoy your trip to Hawaii.

Lots of laughs that night. I would have liked to hear more Red Skelton skits. He certainly did do some that were great. Was good for the price we paid.

Small theater, warm...

Small theater, warm welcome. Very nice tribute to Red. Mostly funny, but some serious. We enjoyed laughing at his show! Clean and fun!

Back in time

Eileen_L, Jun 2026
Took us back many years. Was good to reminisce. Small intimate group. If you watched Red back in.the day, this show is for you

Remember Red Skelton? Don’t miss this show!

LesandMartha_W, May 2026
We laughed so hard! We grew up with Red Skelton on tv and thoroughly enjoyed Brian Hoffman’s interpretations.

Great Show! Worth seeing!

Nancy_H, May 2026
If you remember Red Skelton and his humor this show is a must see! If clean humor is your style with lots of play on words, Brian Hoffman is wonderful as Red Skelton! He does Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance and it is as timely today as it was 40 years ago. Worth the price of admission just to hear.

The BEST comedy experience!

A fantastic, flawless performance! Loved it from start to finish. Brian captured the mannerisms, humor, and personality of Red Skelton as perfectly as you could ever expect. Brought back many wonderful memories!

What an excellent show very funny and I’d recommend it to everyone

Lloyd_R, Feb 2026
The memorabilia displayed throughout the theater was amazing, and the show we couldn’t stop laughing. Brian‘s knowledge of Red Skeleton’s past was so entertaining, I’d recommend the show to everyone

Highly Recommend

Vera_M, Dec 2025
If you’ve seen Red Skelton you’ll love this tribute show!! He has the mannerisms, facial expressions, and the jokes down to a T!!! You’d almost swear it’s Red himself!! I totally loved the entire show, including learning about the history of Red and of Brian (the tribute star), the costumes, the jokes, and seeing all the artwork and posters around the theater! I highly recommend this show if you loved Red Skelton himself!

Tribute to Red Skelton

KarenHullah, Nov 2025
This was a great entertaining show of red Skelton put onby Brian. He portrayed Red to a tee. Itsasvery good and hilarious!

Wonderful evening of wholesome family entertainment.

Carol_L, Oct 2025
This was a delightful performance and took me back many, many years. How refreshing to attend a show and not have to worry about obscenities or racial/ethnic slurs. Brian does an excellent impersonation, and I am impressed that the Red Skelton family endorses his shows./

Excellent show, nice clean jokes!

Debra_T, Oct 2025
Nice clean jokes! It was done in good taste and was enjoyed by all in attendance! Will definitely return and recommend to others!

Stanley_W, Oct 2025
It was special that Brian ushers you to your seat and meets and greets as you arrive; as well as takes time to take a picture with you on your camera. No extra charge. His performance was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the show. His show also has Red Sheldon’s wife and nieces and estates blessing. He certainly brought back wonderful memories of watching a great comedian, clean humor and fun slapstick humor! The VIP package gives you a signed picture which was neat! Brian’s military presentation was awesome. Best in the Smokies!!

Fun night

Joy_S, Sep 2025
This was a lot of fun to go to with my mom. He was such a great host and took such good care of the people in the audience from start to finish. It was a great learning experience for a jokester that I had no knowledge of previously. The jokes were clean and family friendly.

Puts a smile on your face

WILLIAM_B, Sep 2025
This was our 3rd time seeing this show and we laughed as much as the first time. So nostalgic for any one that watched Red Skeleton.

A Fun Evening with Red Skelton

Kevin_A, Sep 2025
We attended the Red Skelton Tribute Show last night. Wonderful show in a small intimate theatre in a small shopping center. Brian Hoffman’s Red Skelton character impressions were spot on and he kept the audience laughing almost the whole time. Even the handful of jokes that fell flat turned out to be funny after the crowd moaned and Red reacted with something funny.

A Fine Homage to Red Skelton.

John_L, Sep 2025
The Tribute to Red Skelton is excellently performed and pays homage to him in a tasteful, enjoyable, and fun way. It was such a pleasure to learn about him and see "clean" comedy appropriate for the entire family. The theater itself is unpretentious and quaint, but I loved all of the memorabilia. It was like a mini museum. I would definitely go again!

Hilarious!!

Eric_W, Aug 2025
Brian Hoffman greeted us at the door, welcoming us to the theater. It was anice way to start the afternoon. The show was hilarious! We haven't laughed that hard for a long time. It wasn't chuckling, but belly laughs. Brian and his staff did a wonderful job.

Don’t miss this go twice

james_C, Aug 2025
Wow this is amazingly Great even if you don’t know about Red Skelton but if you do then you are in for a real treat Unreal the resemblance of Red and the talent is awesome the theatre is filled with memorabilia can’t say enough about how great this was the only thing I can say is they didn’t charge enough thanks Brian I know Red and His family are very proud of your performance it’s hard to say performance because it was so like Red Bravo

Must see

Dorothy_J, Jul 2025
It was an awesome show, a wonderful tribute to Red Skeleton. It was very touching, sensitive to Red Skeletons family and memories. He kept the current political stuff to a minimum.

Sad and disappointing

Melissa_S, Jun 2025
I hate to leave anybody a bad review. But I think this show has seen better days. We are in our 70s and thoroughly enjoyed Red skeleton when we were young. But I believe after this generation has passed the comedian portraying Red Skelton needs to retire because I don't think anybody else is going to enjoy it.

Brian Hoffman is Awesome

Dennis_S, Apr 2025
Brian Hoffman is a true professional with his talent. We enjoyed his performance so very much. Childhood memories of watching Red Skeleton on television became so vivid again thanks to Brian. He really brought Red Skeleton back to life. What a great experience !! We will be back.

Red Skelton Live?

Patricia_C, Mar 2025
This is truly a special collection of Red Skelton memorabilia and a gentleman who looks and sounds like the real Red! Small playhouse but a stunning show and very much full of laughter! E enjoyed it so much!

Awesome show

Shirley_G, Mar 2025
This was a very heart felt man who is honoring Red Skelton a master of comedy. He does it with such passion. Enjoy going back to simpler times. You will be glad you did!

Best show in the Smokies

Teresa_E, Dec 2024
This was the best show in the Smokies. Highly recommend. We laughed the entire time. Brought back so many memories of our childhood

Spot On Tribute

Carol_S, Dec 2024
We got the VIP treatment and had a wonderful time. If you only have time for one show, make this the one. You won't regret it!

Best thing to see in PF.

Bruce_R, Sep 2024
This guy is amazing! It was a smaller and more intimate crowd which we loved! I took my college daughter to Pigeon Forge and she love him as well! He was so personable and took many pictures with us!
