An AL-pocalyptic Evening at the Victory

Evansville, IN – There was plenty of weirdness afoot when “Weird Al” Yankovic took the stage at the Victory Theatre on Saturday night for a stop on his Alpocalypse Tour. The master of satirical comedy proved once again that he has what it takes to entertain with his ever-expanding catalog of parody songs that skewer artists and pop culture from the 1980s to the now. A delighted auidence cheered their way through classic and newer hits, from “Eat It” to “White and Nerdy” and “Perform This Way.” And of course there was a polka medley performed by his talented backing band, numerous costume changes, Star Wars storm troopers, and a range of hilarious video clips to add extra humor to the fast-paced 90 minute show.

“It’s always great to be able to offer a show like this one where you see such a diverse audience in the theatre,” said Executive Director Scott Schoenike. “There were lots of grandparents and parents who brought their kids, and Weird Al’s comedy made a connection with all of them.”

The Victory Theatre continues an active summer and fall schedule with upcoming shows that include Charlie Worsham (Summer Country Nights concert series) August 15, No Justice (Summer Country Nights concert series) September 13, Philip Lawrence September 14, Tommy Emmanuel September 20, and Don Williams October 17.
