 Creed Bratton is a quadruple threat, as he proved Saturday night in an intimate performance at the Victory Theatre. The singer-songwriter actor-comic is best known for his quirky character on NBC’s long-running hit The Office, where he played a fictional version of himself as a former member of 60s rock band The Grass Roots. Bratton’s latest project is a concept album titled “Tell Me About It,” which provides an “audio-biography” of that character, and formed the basis for his live stage performance. His hour-long set included a mix of humorous anecdotes about his time on The Office, background stories for his character, and songs from the album as he accompanied himself with an acoustic guitar. While this approach to a comedy show was unique, the audience enjoyed every minute. Comedian Patrick Passafiume warmed up the crowd with a more traditional set of stand-up comedy that was also well received by the all-ages crowd.
“We really enjoyed working with a consummate professional like Creed Bratton, and appreciated that he took time after the show to meet with many members of his audience,†said General Manager Ben Bolander. “The show tonight was the
first of many similar, affordable comedy shows that we plan to offer at the Victory in coming months that will feature a variety of comic acts for all audiences.”
