The news that my son* has been waiting for: “Yo Gabba Gabba” is coming back to Fresno. The trippy toddler show — often referred to as hipster “Sesame Street” — is doing a live show at Saroyan Theatre on March 7. It’s previously played Save Mart Center twice. The live show features the main “Yo Gabba Gabba” characters, plus hip-hop legend Biz Markie, who does a beat-boxing segment with the Gabba gang. Tickets go on sale Dec. 7, but prices haven’t been announced yet.
1. LAUGH WITH THE GUITAR GUY Brian “Guitar Guy” Haner is at Fulton 55 on Saturday night. His music-meets-comedy schtick has taken him on tour with Jeff Dunham and made him a frequent guest on “The Bob & Tom Show.” To get a taste of his comedy, swing by his site and listen to his “Kardashian Song.”
After bringing its live stage show to Fresno for the first time last year, the cast of kids TV fave “Yo Gabba Gabba!” has announced its returning to Save Mart Center for two shows on Nov. 18 — at 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Tickets cost $32 and $42. They’ll go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, June 6. Hit up Ticketmaster or the Save Mart Center box office to get yours.
This just in: Much to the delight of your child, Fresno has been added as a stop for the “Yo Gabba Gabba!” live performance tour, setting up at Save Mart Center on Nov. 23.
The show is a Nickelodeon hit, but also achieved a bit of clout in the music world — artists such as MGMT and The Roots have been on Yo Gabba Gabba!, and the show’s characters even performed at Coachella. Case in point: Hip-hop legend Biz Markie is on the tour, teaching kids how to beatbox.
Tickets cost $37 and go on sale at noon on Friday at the Save Mart Center or through Ticketmaster.
