Tuna Does Vegas, the hilarious new installment from the legendary “Greater Tuna” creative team, rolls into the Paramount Theatre for a strictly limited engagement of five performances beginning November 27th. Starring the incomparable duo Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, Tuna Does Vegas re-unites the lovable and eccentric characters from the ‘third smallest town in Texas’ as they take a rambling romp in Sin City. The hilarity begins when oddball-conservative radio host Arles Struvie announces on air that he and his wife Bertha Bumiller are heading to Vegas to renew their wedding vows…but everyone in Tuna, Texas goes along for the ride! Written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, Tuna Does Vegas will feature the favorite characters from the award-winning “Greater Tuna” productions with some new characters, too! …All staged under the directorial hand of Mr. Howard.

      Friday night's performance of Tuna Does Vegas was like spending an evening with dear old friends --- dear old demented friends --- whose antics we've followed for years through three other Tuna shows. The two man show with a cast of thousands (OK, dozens!!) starts off making you smile and ends with you laughing like a demented hyena! The lines fly fast and furious and just when you think you've laughed as hard as you can during the dueling Elvises scene, the showgirl scene pops up and makes you laugh hard enough to bust a gut. It's been years since I've had so much fun at the theater. Collapse

      More than 20 years ago I happened to see Greater Tuna at a small theater in the LA area. I didn't quite catch all the references or understand some of the accents but the show was very funny anyway.... Expand

      More than 20 years ago I happened to see Greater Tuna at a small theater in the LA area. I didn't quite catch all the references or understand some of the accents but the show was very funny anyway. Here it is 20+ years later and I now live in the Austin area and just saw Tuna Does Vegas and the characters were even funnier than I remembered. How Joe and Jaston keep up with all their lightning quick costume changes and multitude of character accents is beyond me. I laughed so hard through the show I know I must have missed some good lines...but those I heard were great. You don't have to be from Texas to appreciate their talent or enjoy the show! As Didi would say "god......damn I enjoyed my self." Collapse
