We are deeply saddened by the passing of Paul Reubens. Paul was a truly unique, brilliant, and groundbreaking artist and showed us what a true original is. As “Pee-wee Herman” he brought joy to audiences of all ages throughout the world on the small and silver screens and in his live performances. Paul was a dear friend and never missed my birthday and the day was always filled with funny birthday videos. He was one of the first comedians who performed at Carolines in Chelsea and later at our South Street Seaport location in the 1980s and was an integral part of the club’s early success. He always captivated audiences with his offbeat, eccentric humor and persona, and always brought the house down when he would don a pair of platform shoes, jump atop a table and do his signature dance to “Tequila”. His endearing body of work will be remembered and cherished forever, and he and all of his big adventures will be missed by all. – Caroline Hirsch
