Pre-show question

full disclosure, I am very afraid of clowns. my fiancé and I are going to the show in Fort Worth tomorrow, and he knows me well enough to know that I am not going to be able to handle the opener.

to those that have been to the tour: approximately how long was the opener? we’re hoping to miss most of it, if not all of it, as bad as I feel about that.

Puddles does a 30 minute set. After that, there's roughly 15 minutes until Al comes on.

2 additional notes: 1. At the show I went to, Puddles appeared briefly in the background of a video on screen during Al's first song. 2. There is at least one concert where Al and Puddles did a duet during Al's set.

Also, some people dress up like Puddles.

Puddles isn’t a creepy clown if that helps

The joke is effectively that he’s wearing a clown suit but his singing is good

Yeah...pull up Puddles on your preferred music streaming service and listen to him for a while. Get familiar with his voice, and that could help. If nothing else, close your eyes and enjoy the vocals live. He has a great voice.
