These guys are awesome. I highly recommend this show to anyone who hasn't seen it or hasn't seen it in awhile. I laughed outloud many times and it's hard to get me to do that!
Best suited to a small venue, the National Theater perfectly showcases the subtleties and eccentricities of the plot and characters! Fabulous fun!
We picked up our tickets at will call and proceeded to the theater. The usher showed us our seats -- three of which were seatless. She asked us to wait in the back until everyone was seated and then she would find a place for us. Fortunately the show was not sold out and we did have seats, but if it had been a sellout we would have been out of luck. I suggest the Warner Theater check out the seats in row V before selling them again.
Great seats - performance was lots of fun.
We have seen all three Tuna shows; some several times. It was still wonderfully funny.
This was a depressing kickoff to the holidays. The play itself was lackluster in plot and characterization although some of the protrayals were worthwhile.
This is just too funny. If you are from a small town it will blow you away as the characters are hillarious.
I had family visiting and everyone loved the show. While far from high brow humor, the scenes were pointedly funny.
A fun work about small town Texas. Great characters.
I took my mother-in-law and we enjoyed it. Seats weren't great, but hey, they were cheap.
Hilarious! Great seats!
It's easy to see why this has been around for as long as it has. It was great fun!
I always laugh at these two veterans. On this particular day the energy was a little low but it was still enjoyable.
A campy, funny look at small-town Christmas antics that was a great way to kick off the holiday season. I loved it - others in the party didn't appreciate the white-trashy humor quite as much. The Warner Theater (DC) is a beautiful, intimate venue with good sight-lines from just about everywhere.
We took family members ranging in age from 14-70 and everyone had great fun! Joe Sears and Jaston Williams play all the characters in the little town of Tuna, Texas - male, female, young and old. This is not slap stick comedy - but comedy that is truly humorous, as we get to know and love all the different characters. They are played with such humanity, that you develop real feelings toward them, and see them as real people - not just people being played by two guys. We all agreed that the skit at the Tasty Creme was probably our favorite.
A must see to get one into the holiday spirit.
Much of the time could not understand the dialogue and the content we could understand was dull. Some good parts at the end but we expected much more than was delivered. Would not recommend unless people particularly like country humor.
Four of us went to see Tuna Christmas. We were all over the rating. One absolutely LOVED it, was laughing so hard it the theater it was embarrassing and it still laughing today. One laughed at lots of the jokes, said it reminded her of growing up in a small town. I liked some of it and it was okay. The fourth did not find any humor in it at all.
A bit slow for a younger audience.
I liked it, but I think the material and the presentation are a bit dated. Mr. Williams and Mr. Sears are quite talented, performing every role. They do make you see what they describe.
Seasons Greetings from A Tuna Christmas, the hilarious sequel to the hit comedy, Greater Tuna, starring Tony Award nominees Joe Sears and Jaston Williams. Master comedians Sears and Williams, with their deft comedic timing, trademark characterizations and split-second costume changes, portray all 24 citizens of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! This time, it’s 24 hours before Christmas and the delightfully eccentric characters are attempting to cope with seasonal traumas such as a disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol, and a yard-decorating contest being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom.
