Greek Theatre 8:00 PM
Today’s secret word is: essential. Because a staggering assortment of guests are coming together for this essential—ahh!—40th anniversary celebration of Pee-wee’s Playhouse at the Greek. Patton Oswalt hosts, with music from the B-52s, Danny Elfman and Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale of DEVO, plus everything from comedians like Fred Armisen and Patti Harrison to David Arquette (who has taken up the Bozo the Clown mantle) and Puddles Pity Party to some of the show’s original puppeteers and cast members. If you need more Pee-wee, the Egyptian Theatre is screening a five-episode marathon of the show (May 9 at 7pm).
