‘Tuna Does Vegas’

Two-man comedy opens Jan. 4 at PACT


You will want to purchase advance tickets for what is sure to be sold out shows of “Tuna Does Vegas” at the Port Aransas Community Theatre.

Ken Yarbrough and Mike Jones will perform the two-man show of another installment of the Tuna characters on the PACT stage Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, Jan. 4 through 14, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 8 and 15, at 2:30 p.m.

Yarbrough and Jones have played the Greater Tuna characters on the PACT stage in “Greater Tuna,” “A Tuna Christmas” and “Red, White and Tuna” in the past.

The PACT provided the following information about the show:

“‘ Tuna Does Vegas’ reunites the loveable and eccentric characters from the ‘third smallest town in Texas’ as they take a rambling romp in Sin City.

“The hilarity begins when oddball-conservative radio host Arles Struvie announces on air that he and his wife Bertha Bumiller are heading to Vegas to renew their wedding vows.

“Everyone in Tuna, Texas goes along for the ride. ‘Tuna Does Vegas’ will feature some of the old characters from the past with some new ones too.

“The show balances as both an affectionate comment on small-town life and attitudes as well a hilarious satire of the same.

“The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two actors, making this stand-up life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna: men, women, as well as Vegas showgirls, an Elvis impersonator and more.”

Tickets are $17 and may be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com with a $1.59 service fee per ticket.

Seats also may be purchased at the Port Aransas Business Center, located at 1023 State Highway 361, Suite C.
