Interactive Family Comedy “Show Up, Kids!” Makes West Coast Debut at Complex Hollywood for 6 Performances in January
HOLLYWOOD, CA — Following a sold out, critically acclaimed, 7-month run in NYC, Peter Michael Marino’s interactive “Show Up, Kids!” makes it West Coast premiere at Complex Hollywood, January 12–20. This entirely unique, improvised, family show for kids 3–10 years old puts a comedic twist on the traditional kids’ show. When the main attraction doesn’t show up, Pete enlists the kids to help create a show from set to sound, plot to props, and costumes to characters. What could possibly go wrong?
★★★★★ “Marino handles the unpredictability of working with children in an improvised environment with great skill and grace, putting on a fantastic performance which my children were talking about long after the show.” — Backstage on the Fringe
“Fantastic fun! A one-man whirling dervish of energy, comic timing, physical agility, and out and out hilarity. The kids were absolutely mesmerized!” — The Front Row Center
“This show is not like any other show. Usually, the kids are just watching things happen, but here, kids are actually part of the show. Pete definitely has a superpower!”- Kids News NYC
★★★★ “Hilarious! Marino knows what kids find funny. A show of this caliber is an opportunity to show up for!” — The Wee Review
