The brainchild of writer/director/actor/singer Garrison Keillor, A Prairie Home Companion has been the de facto king of radio acts for the better part of three decades. A variety show skewering life in rural Minnesota and the people who call it home, A Prairie Home Companion is the best satire on radio today. With excellent writing and a rotating cast of guest stars, A Prairie Home Companion has kept itself fresh for every show in its long run.
Starting with the lines “A dark city that knows how to keep its secrets…”, Guy Noir, Private Eye has long been one of the central sketches of A Prairie Home Companion. A cutting to the bone satire of Humphrey Bogart and detective movies, Guy Noir, Private Eye always entertains. The antics of very different cowboys Dusty and Lefty bring back memories of the Odd Couple, with a western flavor.
A Prairie Home Companion also features the classic sketch News From Lake Wobegon, which is a launching point for many skits, as well as another chance to parody small-town Minnesota life. The satire continues with fictional commercials that encourage the purchase of useless products like “Rent-A-Raptor” and “Mournful Oatmeal”. Musical numbers are powered by Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, providing A Prairie Home Companion a Country and Bluegrass styled soundtrack.
A Prairie Home Companion has become an international phenomenon, with broadcasts in nations all around the world. The weekly radio broadcast will be expanded upon in 2008, with A Prairie Home Companion on the road with the traveling Rhubarb Tour. Whether you want to see A Prairie Home Companion in its regular home in St. Paul, Minnesota or on the road in the Rhubarb Tour, order your A Prairie Home Companion tickets from OnlineTickets.com today!
