It’s time to sit back, kick up your feet and laugh uproariously at a baby doll again. The Talking Baby, Charlotte native and former MTV2 pitchman will make His triumphant return at 10 pm Saturday, October 17th at the Carolina Actors Studio Theatre when he rejoins the cast of The Robot Johnson Show for one night only.
Originally conceived as part of a comedy sketch entitled “The Critics,” the Talking Baby quickly became a cult sensation that caught the eye of a local advertising agency, and in 2003, the Talking Baby became a pitchman for MTV2. After a short sabbatical, Keenan’s infant alter-ego made weekly appearances at The Duke Energy Theatre at Spirit Square for four months in 2008 before going back into hiding.
“One night. One show. One foul mouthed baby,” said Keenan. “Seriously. I’m only doing this once in 2009. If you miss it, you miss out.”
Tickets are $15. Show starts at 10 p.m. Robot Johnson will also perform upcoming shows at CAST on Nov. 21, and Dec. 19. For more information on tickets, click here or email reservations@robotjohnson.com.
