Do I ruin the fun by telling you that Randy is a bald purple puppet with bulging eyes? You probably would have found out anyway because Randy seems to have a lot of fans who follow him all over the world. And he’s been nominated for numerous awards, as well as hosting galas, performing at the Sydney Opera House, releasing albums and DVD’s, and appearing on several television shows. So it’s only natural that Randy would next tackle the written word.

In RANDY WRITES A NOVEL the aspiring writer wants to share a bit of his new book with you but he’s a little apprehensive. This causes him to go off on rants of all kinds (airplanes, martial arts, hoarders, veganism, and Swedish Fish are just a few) rather than actually read. Part philosopher, part comedian, and part historian, you can learn the entire life history of Ernest Hemmingway and Harper Lee or just delve into details about an audience member. Randy is very clever, with perfect execution of his puppet persona and great storytelling abilities. Alas, RANDY WRITES A NOVEL is a bit too long. The first half hour is fascinating; the remaining 60 minutes have moments but definitely could have been shortened. However, a Randy experience is definitely a unique encounter. So if you have a penchant to purple, go see him.
