Please call it a comeback! The very popular stage show, “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science,” returns from its year and a half as an even more popular livestream to its first in-person show since 2020, at the BLB theater!

For its debut return-to-in-person show, it’s one of the most popular of all of the livestream-only shows: “Beasts Both Fresh and Rad.” Everything you ever wanted to know about the monsters of 1980s science fiction movies and TV! Let's be real here - almost certainly a great deal more than you wanted to know about the monsters of 1980s science fiction movies and TV. Gremlins! Predator! Alf! "Benji, Zax, and the Alien Prince," do you remember that, no, well, watch this show and you'll think you do! The highest of high weirdness.

Reverend Matt – once called a combination of David Attenborough and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in MPR – played by local comedian Matthew Kessen, is the star of “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science” (‘part science, part comedy, all monsters’), a multimedia series of deep studies of the lore of monsters, infused with comedy jokes. It has won Best Solo Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival twice, and Best of Minnesota at the 2020 MN Webfest. And it’s been called “effective, educational, funny, moving” by Cherry and Spoon, and Single White Fringe Geek said of it, “I could not stop grinning the whole time Rev. Matt was talking.”

Come and see!

Doors are at 6:00 PM, come drink and eat in the theater before the show!
