Pee-wee as Himself - Plot Synopsis: Driven by a soul-baring interview with Paul Reubens – the man behind the iconic character Pee-wee Herman – Matt Wolf's two-part documentary Pee-wee as Himself is the definitive portrait of the comedic performer, and a window into his never-before-discussed personal life.
Determined to correct the record and tell the factual story of his life, Reubens excavates his kaleidoscopic influences, origins in the circus and avant-garde performance theater, and career choices, while reflecting on the reasoning behind, and the consequences of, severing his beloved alter ego from his authentic self.
Pee-wee as Himself is directed by the American doc filmmaker Matt Wolf.
