Here’s a look at everything to know about The Hanging: There’s a New Tariff in Town at 2025 Knott’s Scary Farm.

About the Show

The controversial tongue-in-cheek roast continues this year bringing its trademark irreverent and humorous look back at the past year in pop culture. The Lawman is the mastermind and he’s back to track down the vilest foes who will face a reckoning — and possibly a noose!

This year, the show takes jabs at a wealth of notable headlines. Amongst all of the worthy candidates, just one will be deemed the worst and become the victim of this year’s hanging. If you’re dying to find out who ends up at the business end of this year’s noose, you’ll have to check out our full video below. Candidates for consideration in this year’s show include the new Walt Disney animatronic from Disneyland, Elphaba and Glinda, Labubus, all versions of Pedro Pascal (including Fantastic Four, Mandalorian and Last of Us), Tom Cruise, Benson Boone, Shohei Ohtani, Sabrina Carpenter, M3gan, Superman, Katie Perry, Sydney Sweeney, Hulk Hogan, Diddy, Jeffrey Epstein, and Elon Musk.

How to Watch

The Hanging: There’s a New Tariff in Town runs approximately 30 minutes and takes place at the Wagon Camp at Ghost Town. The show is known for crude humor and adult themes that may offend some and is not suitable for children.

It’s important to know that the show is popular and will fill up for most showings. Seating is available in the theater’s existing outdoor amphitheater and we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before showtime if this is on your bucket list, longer if you are picky about your seat.

Typical showtimes are 8:15 PM, 10:15 PM, and 12 AM but always check the Knott’s Scary Farm app for the latest details. This show is exclusive to Knott’s Scary Farm.
