A lecture as entertainment? Yes. Expect the uproarious. The lecture conceit is a perfect fit for John Lehr, who each night proposes a thesis classroom-style…and proves it true through examinations you’d never hear in school. Six different lectures, each introduced by a noteworthy surprise guest, will be performed two times each over the course of the twelve-week run…though it’s never quite the same show twice!
The show is part autobiography, ALL self-deprecating humor! Surrounded by a podium, blackboard and a placard of his hillbilly family tree, Lehr shares down and dirty stories about his life. Amazingly, it’s all true. Everything from an orgy in a trailer in Hannibal, MO to the driving-on-LSD arrest when John spent the night in the county clink on said hallucinogen. From how and why he got fired from the Christina Applegate/NBC sitcom “Jesse” to the real story behind his hosting gig on the reality show “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” (ABC).
