Today, Bilheimer Capitol Theatre announced a very special 20th anniversary celebration of the 2004 comedy cult classic “Napoleon Dynamite.” The event will feature Jon Heder (Napoleon), Efren Ramirez (Pedro) and Uncle Rico (Jon Gries, who currently is best known as “Greg” on HBO’s “White Lotus”).
Unfortunately, Kip is not part of the show, because he’s probably staying home and eating all the freakin’ chips, or chatting with babes online.
Tickets to “Napoleon Dynamite Live!” happening Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024 go on sale Friday, April 21 at 10 a.m. EDT and start at $39. A limited number of VIP meet-and-greets are available for $125.
UPDATE The Feb. 24 show is now sold-out, so the show has added another date on Friday, Feb. 23.
A press release promises a screening for the film, plus “a wild and hysterical blend of Q&A, comedy improv, game show, and party, with plenty of audience participation,” surrounding the uncomfortably-hilarious coming of age comedy full of quotes and quips that injected themselves into the daily lexicon long before meme culture ruined everything within one news cycle.
