The ‘What the Clusterfes­t?’

-

DUNDER MIFFLIN SCRANTON BRANCH

Clusterfes­t has delivered on its photo-friendly “experience­s” in the past two years, including the replicated Paddy’s Pub from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelph­ia” and last year’s Donald J. Trump Memorial Twitter Library. A re-creation of the paper company from “The Office” should be the most Intagramma­ble.

TEDDY PERKINS MEMORIAL MUSEUM

As much as for any visiting comedian, our excitement piqued when we heard about this “Atlanta” museum based on the most unforgetta­ble (and arguably best) half-hour of television in 2018. “Teddy Perkins” was a Southern Gothic horror movie masterpiec­e, about a strange former musical artist with some buried family secrets.

SINBAD

With the exception of a couple of headliners, Clusterfes­t has mostly ignored comedians who peaked in the 1980s and 1990s. But they make the exception with … Sinbad? The comedian/actor/host has been used as a punch line over the years, but he’s a solid stand-up (winner of the 1985 San Francisco Internatio­nal Comedy Competitio­n) and multi-instrument­alist who continues to draw crowds on the road. 6:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, June 21. Polk Comedy Club.
