With crooning clown act Puddles Pity Party, the schtick is front, center and undeniable. The twist, however, is that it results in stunning artistry and pathos.
What seems like a whimsical conceit on paper turns out to be subversively genius. Yes, Puddles is funny. But it’s probably the least of his virtues as a masterful performer who can move modern pop audiences like an opera star. It’s a stirring and arresting live experience that will leave you changed.
Come see why this icon has a fervid cult following.
7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 25, Plaza Live, $34.50-$49.50.
