MST3K celebrates 30th anniversary with tour featuring Jonah AND Joel

For the first time in 25 years, original Mystery Science Theater 3000 host and creator Joel Hodgson will put on the red jumpsuit for a live tour with current MST3K host Jonah Ray as part of the MST3K Live 30th Anniversary Tour.

Tickets went on sale last week via AXS.com and local venue box offices for 42 shows across 29 cities. The tour kicks off in October.

“The craziest and most exciting thing for me is that I am putting on my old jumpsuit and will be riffing live, shoulder to shoulder with Jonah, Crow, and Tom Servo for two incredibly strange feature films. I’m going to have to go into training to get caught up to the skill level of Jonah and this new cast. If you saw last year’s tour you have some idea just how talented these young movie riffers are,” Hodgson said.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live 30th Anniversary Tour consists of two separate, completely unique shows, each with its own admission, so fans who want to see both shows will need to purchase two tickets, one for each show. The double-feature features The Brain in the first show; Deathstalker in the second.
