It’s been one looooong ride, but these three comical cowboys aren’t galloping off to the sunset just yet. For one final jaunt, Please Don’t Destroy will hit The Wiltern on September 21 to conclude their first-ever headlining comedy tour!
“The comic devices that work best for Please Don’t Destroy on SNL continue to be their strengths on stage. Their original songs are crowd-pleasing no-doubters. Occasional pops of video on a screen behind them worked as comic exclamation points. ”
Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy are currently on board a series of 25 live shows across North America, with a performance slated at the cultural center of Los Angeles, California. The Wiltern theater, featuring a brilliant indoor stage and intimate art-deco atmosphere, will serve as the venue for this raucous exhibition of skits and antics.
Saturday Night Live writing room regulars since 2021, the Please Don’t Destroy trio steals mainstream attention through hilariously innovative segments, which include classics like “Three Sad Virgins,” “Molly Shannon 2K23,” and “Hard Seltzer.” They’ve collaborated with many A-listers and superstars–Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, Jenna Ortega, etc.–and with a full-length feature film on the way, these young comics are sure to usher in a new era of rib-tickling American comedy.
Curious how their style translates live? Well, they can’t use their usual fast cuts and edits, but the surrealism and absurdity? Heaps and bucket loads, with plenty of audience participation to boot! All the creative juices that flow on-screen flow on stage, so expect Please Don’t Destroy’s trademark off-the-wall hysterics, hijinx, and wackiness!
“It’s kind of like a hybrid of stand-up and sketch. It starts out presentational, and we talk to the audience and interact with people. But then we’ll be like, “Okay, now we do a sketch.” So it’s fun. It feels like our ideal show is like giving the audience the feeling like they are part of our friend group and got to watch us hang out and do bits for an hour,” Ben Marshall described in an interview last July.
