The first half was mostly songs by the [[characters]], with some songs performed by [[sloshy]], while the second half was primarily [[Limozeen]]. Videos were playing during the first half of the show, showing the music videos for songs such as [[Rap Song]], [[An Important Rap Song|2 Many Knives]], and [[Fish Eye Lens]] as they were being performed on-stage.

During the show, at some point during the performances, the video AV stopped working, so [[Matt Chapman]] started singing bread sing-alongs with Puppet [[Homestar Runner]], who said that the songs had the power to fix AV problems. This eventually became a [[running gag]]. After an intermission, Limozeen played, and flicked Limozeen guitar picks (previously shown in {{prs|768890421799890944|25|Aug|2016|alt=a @StrongBadActual tweet}}) into the audience. Towards the end, Matt invited Jamey Huggins, the person who thought of the name "Homestar Runner", to the stage to tell that story. Before performing the final song, [[Secret Song]], Matt said that normally they'd have to wait 227 seconds before hearing it, like on ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]''. At the end of the show, Matt said "Here's to twenty more years of making stupid stuff!", which was responded with a loud cheer from the audience.

"Homestar Runner LIVE in Atlanta! 20th Anniversary Show!"

The Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show was a series of two events that took place in 2016, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Homestar Runner body of work through the creation of the Original Book in 1996.

Both shows took place at Venkman's, a restaurant and music venue in Atlanta. The first show was on Friday, September 2, 2016, at 10:00 PM, the weekend of Dragon Con; due to large demand, a second show was announced for the later date of Friday, October 7 with the same content. Both shows were first announced on @StrongBadActual and later promoted on homestarrunner.com in a main page message. Tickets were priced at $12-$25.

Videos were playing during the first half of the show, showing the music videos for songs such as Rap Song, 2 Many Knives, and Fish Eye Lens as they were being performed on-stage.

During the show, at some point during the performances, the video AV stopped working, so Matt Chapman started singing bread sing-alongs with Puppet Homestar Runner, who said that the songs had the power to fix AV problems. This eventually became a running gag. After an intermission, Limozeen played, and flicked Limozeen guitar picks (previously shown in a @StrongBadActual tweet) into the audience. Towards the end, Matt invited Jamey Huggins, the person who thought of the name "Homestar Runner", to the stage to tell that story.
