Don't think so. If it is anything like the rest of their shows it will just be one giant commercial for selling tee shirts and DVD's. HO-HUM. HANK.

Well...I think it is immature of them to advertise the fact that the GLMF management has asked not to perform the bawdy acts on the website for the sake of family atmosphere, but I also don't agree with GLMF management's decision to restrict their acts as well. As long as the entertainers let the audience know beforehand that the show will be R-rated, it is the audience's choice to stay or go.
Ultimately, you don't have to be bawdy, raunchy, vulgar to be funny. For example, Hack & Slash. Enough said...

Drive fifty miles to pay for a show that starts ten minutes past my bed time on a Wednesday night?
Not likely
Saves more seats for those who can go.

I don't think they were being immature, they were being honest and diplomatic. They repeatly tell people it's not appropriate for kids, but some people refuse to hear. If you want to see a show that's not censored, see Axel. I've heard he's refused to censor himself.
A lot of faires seem to be going the "family friendly" route. An unfortunate national trend, in my ever so humble opinion. But from what I've been hearing from my sources, GLMF seems to be going to extremes.

thank you for saying that... i thought it. the fans need to know why they got rid of that show in this state...
i like that a lot of the faires are trying to be more .. family safe... but a lot of performers are angry!?!

I really didn't think we were that bad before. Maybe I just have exceedingly low expectations.

personally I think that they should have the bawdy shows for the adult crowd and an equal number of children friendly shows (and from what I've seen of the Tortugas this year none of their shows are). and then make sure that they post them as such (in the program, on the signage in front of the stage, and anywhere else they can think of). That way the families have enough shows to have an enjoyable day and the adult pub crowd can get enough raunchy humour to enjoy themselves and everyone is happy. I agree that some adults just don't understand the meaning of censor but these are probably the same parents that take their kids to 'R' rated movies and rock concerts. If you wouldn't want your 8 year old daughter to hear it then you shouldn't have her in the audience. Take her to fairy forest, let her play on the huge playground. Some of the more kid friendly shows were fool of moxie, and fool hardy.

1.5 hour drive up, 1.5 hour drive back on a Thursday night, in the middle of faire season, not likely to happen for me.
Considering that the first 15-20 minutes of each TT show is crowd gathering/promotional advertising (yes I have timed it) I am curious as to the duration of the show for the $8 per head.
I enjoy some of the TT shows but it seems every show is pushing the edge of the rating to the upper limit. I have even witnessed a "volunteer" walk off stage due to content as the show progressed (or perhaps digressed). I think that the TT shows are some of the best "adult" humor shows available at GLMF but due to the nature of open air stage performances you still need to be careful of your content due to passerbys.
I think having a "must be 18" closed venue is a good idea for them but I'm not sure if a Thursday night in the middle of faire season will bring the best attendance.

hey Trevor - there's a big difference between age 8 and age 14. That's why we have a PG-13 Rating. But Rated "R" is for over age 17 (i.e. adult). And lately the PG-13 movies have been featuring the "F" word quite frequently so I am not sure that Axel has all that much to worry about. he's pretty mild when you think about all of the graphic violence, gore, and sex that Hollywood has to offer.

Yeah, well, I've been taking Brit to concerts since she was like 11. And R rated movies for longer than that. But that is me, and I tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
I can understand some people not being happy with the TT shows at faire. But to put things in context also. What they do at our faire for their R show (last year). Would only be considered PG at their home faire in Florida.
