When I got married in 2019, our friends organized a bachelor party for my husband. We got married in Las Vegas and this bachelor party wasn't going to be your typical night out.

Knowing that my husband is a big fan of Pee-wee Herman, impersonator Drew Lepkowski (known as Las Vegas Pee-wee, @lasvegaspeewee) was invited to tag along for the night.

On this episode of Forever '80s, Drew shares the highs and lows of impersonating one of the most iconic characters of the 1980s.
