Last week Shannon Noll’s variety show Barron Trump: Up Past Bedtime debuted in the midst of a turbulent debate about whether President Donald Trump’s youngest son is fair game for comedians. Despite the decidedly affectionate approach of Noll’s production—a humorous homage to Pee-wee’s Playhouse in which Barron is master of ceremonies—the Chicago comedian now says she has been the target of an aggressive and alarming backlash on the Internet.

During last Saturday’s debut of Up Past Bedtime, Noll says, there was strong attendance and a positive reception despite the negativity expressed online. In the run-up to the final show this Saturday, Noll wants to ease the doubts of anyone still wondering if her performance puts any sort of target on the back of the littlest Trump.
