Looking for the best family-friendly show in NYC this fall? The wildly popular interactive kids’ comedy “Show Up, Kids!” is back by popular demand! Join the laughter every Saturday afternoon at The Rat NYC in DUMBO, Brooklyn from September 27 to November 29, 2025.
What Is “Show Up, Kids!”?:
“Show Up, Kids!” is not your typical children’s theater show. This hilarious, high-energy interactive comedy is tailor-made for kids aged 3–10 and their grown ups. The twist? When the scheduled performer doesn’t arrive, the kids in the audience take over — helping create the plot, props, sound effects, characters, and costumes live on stage. The result? A one-of-a-kind, 45-minute comedy adventure where no two performances are ever the same!
🎭 Kids don’t just watch the show — they become part of it!
