Comedian Pauly Shore, a fixture on MTV in the early 1990s, continues to make people laugh, hitting the road to play in lots of different places.
“I think at the end of the day I'm an artist, meaning I like to create," the comedian said. "And I like to be around small towns and go into places that I wouldn't expect to go."
Those experiences free him up mentally “to find things. If I'm in Los Angeles all the time or in one place, mentally I get kind of stagnant. There's like a freedom of being on the road.”
Wherever he goes, he likes to find smiling faces and positive energy.
“So it doesn't really matter where I walk into. It's all about being welcomed.”
Shore, who played in South Sioux City, Neb., on Thursday and goes to Okoboji, Iowa, tonight, will do two shows Saturday at the Ramkota Hotel in Aberdeen.
“You come all that way to entertain. So you want people to come out and want to be entertained.”
When Shore is out in public, he is met with joy from most people who are old enough to remember him from his heyday. People are especially fond of 1993’s “Son in Law” and “Bio-Dome” from 1996.
“Those two in particular bring a lot of joy to people,” he said in a phone interview from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., where he was appearing.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Shore was a frequent presence on MTV, hosting a show called “Totally Pauly.” His persona was a mellow, spacey California surfer dude known as "The Weasel." He addressed everyone with a drawn out, "Buuuuddddyy . . ."
Asked about his movie preference, Shore said, “I liked ‘Son in Law’ a lot because it kind of got me out of that MTV audience into a mainstream audience.”
Part of that film, incidentally, was set in South Dakota. But it was not filmed in the state.
His shows Saturday night will be what people familiar with him would expect — fun, spontaneous, unexpected, he said.
“And then the people that don't know who I am should come out as well and experience something different. I'm not the normal comic that's going to go up there and get stuck in a routine. I kind of screw around a lot,” he said.
Until recently, Shore was devoting his attention to political specials. People can still buy his “Pauly-Tics” special on his website, paulyshore.com, for $5.
