Hi. We are at the Erickson Theater.
I am the creator and producer of uncle Mike Ruins Christmas,
a show that's been happening here in Seattle since 2007.
- Tilly., tilly. Here. get me in it. Get me in it.
Okay. Ha ha ha.
- Ho ho ho.
- My role is uncle Mike in Uncle Mike ruins Christmas.
Oh, hello there, young lady.
What's your name?
Uncle Mike.
Is anyone from your crazy drunk uncle
to your boss, agitating nephew.
Stop it! Stop it!
(audience laughing)
- So when the audience shows up,
they can fill out a little form that asks them for a memory.
Something that happened to them.
And during holiday season of past.
And then we recreate that.
Our performers
make it just the warmest, happiest thing you've ever seen.
And then uncle Mike shows up and just destroys it.
- You must be the belle of the ball.
We take your
cherished holiday memories and we burn them to the ground.
And we, prance around in the ashes of them.
And you love it.
Honey. It's me.
Hrrroooah!
(screaming)
- What I want people to take away from
this show is utter joy and happiness.
With a sense of mischief as well.
(gagging and coughing)
We bring out love and silliness for everybody. We.
- We stand and deliver.
- She knew that she had passed on the true meaning of Christmas.
Thee end.
(audience applause)
