MST3K might be coming to a city near you this summer. Today MST3K’s Watch Out for Snakes! tour was announced, which will be headed up by Joel Hodgson and Jonah Ray and runs from early July through mid-August and makes stops in Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Baltimore, and more along the way. Here’s what you can expect from the tour via the press release sent out today:
Appearing with Joel and Jonah live on stage will be robot companions Crow (Hampton Yount), Tom Servo and Gypsy, along with Synthia (Rebecca Hanson) and her Bonehead henchmen. Of course, it wouldn’t be MST3K without the ever-present surveillance of the Mads, Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day) and TV’s Son of TV’s Frank (Patton Oswalt), checking up on their unwilling test subjects via a video screen. The tour consists of two separate, completely unique shows, each with its own admission. Fans wanting the complete tour experience should purchase two tickets, one for each show. Each event will include all the things expected from an MST3K experience: a cheesy B-movie, hilarious riffing, wisecracking robots, silly sketches, plus – for the first time – audience participation! Show # 1 is the MST3K favorite Eegah, featuring all-new riffs and sketches. Show # 2 is a “Secret Surprise Film!” It’s a fun, sci-fi thriller never before featured on MST3K and it will be performed only in select cities.
