Renowned foodist and television personality Alton Brown will bring “Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour” to the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. April 1.

The Food Network star’s live show features a pinch of comedy, talk show antics, a multimedia lecture, live music and a dash of “extreme” food experimentation (ponchos are provided for those in the first few rows), and, of course, puppets. Enthusiastic fans and critics have raved about the interactive component where Brown invites audience members on stage to serve as his assistants.

Tickets are $48 and $58, with a limited number of special VIP packages at $100. All fees apply. Tickets on sale at 11 a.m. Dec. 12 at http://www.liedcenter.org, at the Lied Center Box Office, 301 N. 12th St., or by phone at 402-472-4747.

“We have combined science, music, food, and a few other things no one in his right mind would allow me to do on TV, into a two hour extravaganza that’s fun for the whole family,” Brown said.

He has been cultivating the show’s material for about a decade and wrote most of the musical numbers, which all take a comedic look at food.

Author of seven books, including the James Beard Award-winning “I’m Just Here for the Food” and the New York Times bestselling sequence “Good Eats,” Brown has hosted numerous food series including “Iron Chef America.” He is host on the game show “Cutthroat Kitchen.” He created, produced and hosted the Peabody Award-winning series “Good Eats” for 13 years on Food Network.
