Garrison Keillor’s Gratitude Tour Coming to St. Ben’s

I kick myself for never seeing a live performance of Garrison Keillor's 'Prairie Home Companion' at St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theater, which he stepped away from this past year. I've always been a fan, and I'm jumping on the chance to see him at St. Ben's in April on his five-city 'Gratitude Tour.'

It's part 50-year celebration of Minnesota Public Radio; part Garrison Keillor farewell tour of Minnesota. Keillor first went on the air in 1969.

Mr. Keillor reports that he has now reached a certain age when you realize how lucky you are and you stop complaining. Complaint is a mainstay of comedy, so he is now experimenting with a comedy of gratitude, talking about parents, teachers, lucky breaks, dumb things that turned out smart. This is his first experimental tour.
