Chicago Improv Performer To Play 'Barron Trump' In New Comedy Show (style of Pee Wees Playhouse)
Chicago Tribune ^ | jan 28 2017 gmt | Nina Metz

Chicago improviser and stand-up comedian Shannon Noll will play the title character in the new stage show "Barron Trump: Up Past Bedtime," opening Saturday at The Revival in Hyde Park.

"It's a variety show in the style of 'Pee-wee's Playhouse' and it's basically Barron Trump getting read a bedtime story, and then deciding to stay up past his bedtime and play with his imaginary friends," Noll said Friday.

Those include: Ben Carson, a "woke young kid and her Auntie, who has just come in from India," Betsy Ross and Vladimir Putin as "sort of a gossiping teenager."

Though Noll conceived of the show two months ago, she takes the stage amid heightened concerns and pushback; last week, Chicago native and "Saturday Night Live" writer Katie Rich tweeted (and then deleted) an offensive line about the president's 10-year-old son. Rich was subsequently suspended indefinitely from her job at the NBC late-night sketch show.

In an interview with Fox New Channel's Sean Hannity earlier this week, President Donald Trump called the tweet a "disgrace."

The infamous tweet, Noll said, doesn't reflect her sensibility for the show. "I noticed that I looked like Barron Trump and I thought that would be an interesting approach," she said. She has brought on collaborators who will perform solo material (the aforementioned imaginary friends) "and I'm facilitating that as Barron Trump" as master of ceremonies.

Asked if she had any second thoughts about going ahead with the show, Noll said, "No, I sort of doubled-down.

"I was originally going to create a fake Trump child, but I look so much like Barron. And going into this, I specifically created this character so that he bears no resemblance in personality to what we've seen of Barron Trump. I'm just playing him as a generic kid."

This is reaching - or has reached - the level of pedophilia type fixation.

These people are scum.

Good Lord, don’t these people have lives to get on with? Leave the poor kid alone. In most of the pictures I’ve seen, the boy looks totally bewildered.

This is IMO worse than what they did with Trig Palin because Barron is old enough to see and hear what these degenerates say about him. Good grief! He’s still got baby teeth that haven’t fallen out yet and boys his age typically still like stuffed animals. He’s just a child!

Depraved subhumans, all of them.
