Comedian Pauly Shore performs next month in Hilo.
Shore will be joined by for a night of comedy by guests Justine Smith and A.J. Higlesias for the Jan. 6 shopw at the Palace Theater in Hilo. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show getting underway at 7:30 p.m.
Shore tasted super-stardom in 1990 when his MTV show “Totally Pauly” hit the airwaves to major fan approval. The show ran for six years, leading Shore to a one-hour HBO comedy special, “Pauly Does Dallas,” and starring roles in films like “Jury Duty,” “In the Army Now,” “Bio-Dome,” “Encino Man,” “Son In Law,” and “A Goofy Movie.”
Shore went on to produce and star in several of his own projects, including “Pauly Shore is Dead,” as well as the comedy specials “Vegas is My Oyster,” on Showtime starring Andy Dick, Tom Green, Bobby Lee, and “Pauly-Tics,” on Showtime starring Herman Cain and Larry King. In 2014, he released “Pauly Shore Stands Alone,” a true-life road documentary that follows Shore as he performs in obscure towns throughout Wisconsin while dealing with his personal life. It appeared on Showtime and is available on Amazon Prime and YouTube.
Apart from actively touring the country with his stand-up comedy, Shore is working on a documentary of his life that spans the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s along with a memoir called “How’d You Expect Me to Turn Out.”
General admission tickets for the Jan. 6 Hilo show are $45.50 and can be purchased online at www.hitidenation.com.
