Jan. 9—Bruce-O-Rama starring Bruce Campbell, best known for portraying Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" franchise, is coming to the Santander Performing Arts Center on April 12, with tickets going on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com. It is one of four new shows announced for the Santander Performing Arts Center and Santander Arena in downtown Reading.

Also going on sale Friday are tickets for comedian Phil Rosenthal, star of the Netflix series "Somebody Feed Phil," on March 10 at the Santancer Performing Arts Center, the South Korean boy band CIX on March 12 at Santander Arena and Whose Live Anyway?, a night of improvised comedy and song all based on audience suggestions, featuring current cast members of the Emmy-nominated TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," on April 26 at the Santander Performing Arts Center.

Bruce-O-Rama is two events in one. Part 1 is "Last Fan Standing," an interactive game show created for fans of pop culture, testing the audience's knowledge of fantasy, horror, sci-fi, superheroes and gaming. Fans answering the most questions correct in the fastest amount of time will come up on stage with Bruce for the Final Face-Off, and one player will be crowned Last Fan Standing. For Part 2, Bruce will introduce a cult favorite movie he's been in and take questions before the screening. It's a lively half hour of anecdotes, insults and random cash giveaways.
