Jack Paar paved the way for Johnny Carson who inspired the great David Letterman, topping the exclusive list of legendary talk show hosts… But get ready for them to get pawed off their pedestals by legendary kitty icon LIL BUB and her feline-tastic talkshow, Lil BUB’s Big SHOW on Animalist (Discovery Network’s exclusive YouTube channel). Over 13 star studded episodes and multiple live events, Lil BUB interviewed superstars like Michelle Obama, Andrew W.K., Whoopi Goldberg, and Jack McBrayer all while showcasing a different animal welfare organization in each episode!
Now, for the first time since 2015, you can catch Lil BUB’s Big SHOW – LIVE!presented by Scoop Away headlining the Catsbury Park Cat Convention (CPCC) in Asbury Park, NJ (April 13th – 14th). Scoop Away is proud to partner with Lil BUB and join her mission to spread positivity, acceptance, love and animal welfare awareness. In her biggest show yet, Lil BUB will be bringing the tough questions to three entertainment luminaries — Comedian, actor, and musician, Fred Armisen, known for his tenure on Saturday Night Live, the hit show Portlandia, and as the band leader on Late Night with Seth Meyers — Musician, producer, engineer, and journalist Steve Abini, known best for his work on unparalleled albums like Nirvana’s In Utero, Pixies‘ Surfer Rosa, and The Breeders‘ Pod — Lead guitarist and co-vocalist for The Breeders, Kelley Deal — And renowned bassist Blasko who is currently part of Ozzy Osbourne’s band and has previously performed with Danzig and Rob Zombie.
Bringing together an all-star lineup from Cat World: Celebrity Cats, adoptable felines, DJs, games, activities, art, vendors, presentations, seminars, comedians, tattoos, tasty vegetarian food, CPCC will be ushering a much larger weekend event on April 13 and 14, 2019. With more venues to allow more attendees to interact with the cats for adoption, the goal of CPCC is to both find forever homes for our lovely feline friends as well as host seminars about rescue, kitten care, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), and more.
Some of the biggest names in the Cat World will headline the convention: Kitten Lady a.k.a. Hannah Shaw, Klaus, Stache, Sir Thomas Truehart. On top of that, CPCC parties on April 12th and 13th at The Wonder Bar will feature musical acts including The Cure tribute supergroup THE LOVE CATSfeaturing members of THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM / DEAD SWORDS (Alex Levine, guitar/keys), THE LOVED ONES/THE EXPLOSION (Chris Gonzalez, bass), and founder of Catsbury Park DJ Bornschein on guitar and vocals, LIL BUB: THE BAND, TRAGEDY: ALL METAL TRIBUTE TO THE BEE GEES AND BEYOND and COUGRR.
