Pee-wee Herman, comedian Paul Reubens' signature character, is the titular protagonist of Pee-wee's Playhouse. He is the owner of the playhouse. He is a zany, childlike fellow with a pomaded crew-cut, a too-small gray suit, a bow-tie, a high, nasal voice, and a frenzied manner. His playhouse boasts oddball characters and talking furniture and he likes to ride his bike and cook, whipping up such delights as Ice Cream Soup.
