The Paramount holiday tradition is back — master comedians Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, with their deft comedic timing, trademark characterizations and split-second costume changes, portray all 24 citizens of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies!

      That would be Joe Sears and Jaston Williams living in A Tuna Christmas. If you have not yet joined the Tuna Nation, it is time to do so. The clever and touching portrayal of the many citizens to Tuna Texas is uproariously funny and a great value for your entertainment dollar. You can try to figure out how they change costumes so quickly. If you have seen it before, maybe you will be like my seatmate who was quoting along and laughing in anticipation of fondly remembered familiar gags. It is always a joy to see your favorite Tuna characters back on stage in Austin; it is, it is. Collapse

      What do I love about the holidays? It’s a time to re-connect with family and friends – especially the crazy members of a little town called Tuna, TX. Joe Sears and Jaston Williams bring the characters to life – all 22 of them – in this year’s run of A Tuna Christmas playing at the Paramount. It’s time to check in with all of our favorites: Vera, Petey, DiDi (God _ _….you know the rest), Helen and Inita, Pearl and Bertha. The Christmas Phantom is wrecking the yard displays of the community, and it’s up to you to guess who, as we drop by Radio Station OKKK, the Tastee Kreme, DiDi’s Used Weapons (If We Can’t Kill It – It’s Immortal), Bertha’s and Vera’s homes. Joe and Jaston throw one-liners and zingers so fast, we’re kept laughing and clapping with each scene. But the true magic is created as we become so involved in their performance – we soon forget that the simple set has only a few minor changes from scene to scene. They’re only here through the weekend, so get to Tuna, TX now! Collapse
