"The Grand Opening" is the third episode of the fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows. It aired on July 19, 2022.

Synopsis[]

Opening night of Nadja's vampire nightclub is threatened when the big musical guest cancels. Laszlo attempts to undermine the growing boy's affinity for musical theatre.

Plot Summary[]

The vampire nightclub is ready for its grand opening, and Nadja has invited famous vampire rapper Richie Suck (Affion Crockett) to perform for its first night, but Richie's human familiar and manager Doctor Tom (Fred Armisen) gets in the way. Baby Colin is rapidly growing and has now started his own YouTube channel, while Guillermo and Laszlo bicker over his love of musical theatre until Laszlo accepts that he cannot change Baby Colin's interests. Meanwhile, Nandor worries that he may not be good enough for Marwa, so he decides to use one of his remaining wishes to obtain the world's largest penis. Guillermo helps him to work out the best possible phrasing of the wish, but due to Nandor's thanking Guillermo for his help while making the wish, the Djinn tricks them by adding an extra element to the wish that forces Nandor to think about Guillermo every time he engages in sex. At the nightclub opening, Nadja convinces Richie to kill Tom and return to his own style of performance, but this backfires when Richie reveals that he has recently developed a passion for stand-up comedy instead of singing. The attending crowd of vampires almost become violent, but Baby Colin defuses the situation by singing in Richie's place.[1]
