About the ShowThe Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, by John Glore. Though the characters may be familiar, each of your favorite storybook fables is uproariously derailed in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's quintessential children's book of fractured fairy tales.
