If you’re Norman Reedus, one of the stars of The Walking Dead, and you stumble upon a zombie burlesque show playing in Las Vegas while on a road trip, there’s only one thing you can do: You go.

That is exactly what Norman Reedus did in the latest episode of his reality show, Ride with Norman Reedus. Accompanied by friend and fellow actor Balthazar Getty, the two head out on a bike ride through Las Vegas and Death Valley. And, in the following video, Norman can be seen as he discovers a niche zombie burlesque show which catches his eye on the Vegas strip.
A voice-over of Norman can be heard describing the light-drenched city as he says, “At night, the neon wonderland of Vegas comes to life, and driving through this is like a psychedelic rush minus the LSD.” However, when Norman notices the posters for the NSFW show, the actor and his friend pull over as Norman can be heard saying, “Zombies in Vegas? Did you think there was anyway I wasn’t going to check this out?”
Judging from the video’s clips of the show, Norman’s decision to sit-in on the production was an excellent one. The trailer, however, should be viewed away from small kids as it compiles several clips filled with scantily clad zombies in heels and colorfully dyed wigs. And, when Norman later heads backstage to meet with the performers after the show, he’s all too ready to applaud their hard work. Another voice-over can even be heard of Norman saying, “It takes talent, dedication, guts, and a ton of stamina to pull off what these performers do night after night. I know how hard it is.”
While Norman has yet to don any flirty lingerie on The Walking Dead to-date, fans of the actor can clearly see his love for the Vegas show whose producer even admits to being inspired by Norman’s hit show. While the burlesque show’s level of gore might not reach those of AMC’s hit series yet, the musical number seems to sit well with one of The Walking Dead‘s most beloved actors.
For fans of Ride with Norman Reedus, they’re surely now looking forward to see what other odd tourist attractions the actor will hit with his biker buddies. However, it’s likely that few other pit stops will be quite as entertaining as this one though.
Ride with Norman Reedus airs on Sundays at 10/9 Central on AMC.
