Alton Brown – Edible Inevitable Tour on stage at The Hanover Theatre
2 Southbridge Street, Worcester
10% off tickets with WOO Card
For the first time on a live tour, Alton Brown brings his brand of quirky humor and culinary-science antics to the stage. The two-hour show is a unique blend of stand up comedy, food experimentation, talk show antics, multimedia lecture, and, for the first time...live music. Audience interaction is strictly enforced throughout the evening, though if you’re called upon as a culinary assistant you’ll definitely want to take the lab coat Brown offers, as things tend to get messy!
