As with many holiday traditions, change can be a little daunting, but The Little Bummer Boy is ready to fill the festive shoes left behind by Brave New Workshop's longtime holiday staple, Chaos of the Bells. Running at the Dudley Riggs Theatre, the production serves up fresh seasonal comedy from the nation's longest-running comedy theater, trading holiday stress for plenty of laughs.
With original sketches, songs, and Brave New Workshop's beloved take on The Twelve Days of Christmas, The Little Bummer Boy offers a lighthearted look at the chaos, quirks, and absurdities of the holiday season. Whether you're a longtime BNW fan or looking for a new seasonal outing, the show promises the sharp wit and improvisational spirit that have made the Minneapolis institution a local favorite for decades. After seeing Chaos of the Bells last year, I would definitely add this one to your calendar.
If you’re looking for cheaper tickets, preview performances run November 12th-20th, with the official run beginning November 21st and continuing through January 16th. For anyone seeking an alternative to the more traditional holiday entertainment offerings around town, The Little Bummer Boy may be just the gift of laughter needed to close out the year.
