Blazing Saddles (1974) at the Senate Theater

Blazing Saddles is full of beans. It’s an explosively funny spoof. It’s full of hot, hilarious air. It’s a real gas.

An irreverent and witty comedy shootout at the “Is it OK if I Laugh at this Corral”, this 70s classic isn’t just an excuse for flatulence-based humor. It takes a sharpened razor to the Western genre’s filthy prospector beard, uncovering the dark racial history and myth building at the heart of the form and America itself. But always with a laugh. Belly laughs so hearty your guts might bust, making you wonder how they found a take where the actors don’t break.

Parking is available in our gated lot on Gilbert Street, behind the theater. Tickets are $6.00.
