WILKES-BARRE — Television personality, author and Food Network star Alton Brown, who created a new form of live entertainment with his first live culinary variety show, has announced details for the all new “Alton Brown Live: Eat Your Science” tour.

Beginning in April 2016, the new live show will visit 40 U.S. cities including Wilkes-Barre’s FM Kirby Center on April 21 at 7 p.m.

Brown’s first North American tour, “Edible Inevitable,” was a huge success over two years and 100 cities with more than 150,000 fans in attendance.

With “Eat Your Science,” fans can expect more comedy, talk show antics, multi-media presentations and music, but Brown is adding a slew of fresh ingredients including new puppets, songs, bigger and potentially more dangerous experiments and what every cook needs in his kitchen — fire.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. and will be available through the Kirby Center box office, online at www.kirbycenter.org, and charge by phone at 570-826-1100. A special Kirby Member pre-sale will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Critics and fans have raved about the interactive component where Brown invites audience members on stage to serve as his assistant.

“There will be plenty of new therapy inducing opportunities during our audience participation segments. I don’t want to give too much away, but we’re also going to play a little game with the audience,” says Brown.

Brown has a knack for mixing together a perfect base of science, music and food into two hours of pure entertainment.

“Plus, you’ll see things that I was never allowed to do on TV.”

He also says larger and more protective ponchos will be provided to the first few rows as his experiments have the potential to get messy.
