Nate Begle On The Upcoming Tour Dates Of “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” The Show’s Next Season, Puppeteering, New York & More

Originally airing for 11 seasons from 1988 to 1999, Mystery Science Theater 3000 immediately won over fans and became one of the most beloved cult TV shows of all time, making a human mind experiment more entertaining than anyone could have predicted. Whether you have seen every episode a hundred times or are one of the uninitiated, there are many ways to watch MST3K episodes, including Shout! Factory’s DVD sets and online streaming services. Or by checking out the still-going tour known as Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Time Bubble Tour.

As part of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Time Bubble Tour, you can join show creator Joel Hodgson and the world’s greatest — and only — movie-riffing robots, Tom Servo, Crow and Gypsy, as they take you on an exhilarating roller coaster ride through some of the cheesiest films ever made. This is reportedly the last chance to see Hodgson as he celebrates his final live tour performing the unique comedic art form he created. The exhilarating, nonstop, rapid-fire hilarity is brimming with hundreds of jokes riffed on a “So-Bad-It’s-Good” feature film, plus spirited sketches and songs that turn the stage into a circus-themed party. Upcoming dates for the tour include February 2, 2022 at Philadelphia’s Merrium Theater, February 5, 2022 at New York City’s Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center and February 6, 2022 at New Jersey’s Count Basie Center For The Arts.

On January 31, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nate Begle — the voice and puppeteer behind the aforementioned Crow (also known as “Crow T. Robot”) via Zoom, as embedded below. More on Begle, MST3K and its upcoming tour dates can be found online by clicking here, here and here.
