As seen on Bravo TV, Celebrity Autobiography is the international smash-hit comedy where outrageous and true celebrity memoirs are acted out live on-stage by some of the funniest people in entertainment. For this special installment, self-penned writings from artists ranging from Motley Crue to Beyonce, Justin Bieber to Britney Spears will be acted out by a first rate line up performers including Joey Fatone, Lainie Kazan, Melissa Manchester, Laraine Newman, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel, Steven Weber, Fred Willard, and more to be announced. The evening will feature the show's signature "Celebrity Mash-Ups" where dueling memoirs are performed on stage by the entire cast.

Originally created by Emmy-Award nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and developed by Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography has been profiled in virtually every major media outlet including CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, NPR's All Things Considered and The View. The national and international tours of the show garnered rave reviews across the board- from The New York Times to Rolling Stone to Time Magazine.

Playing to sell-out audiences and rave reviews in New York City since fall 2008, Celebrity Autobiography is one of the most critically acclaimed, "buzzed about shows" of recent years, according to Entertainment Weekly. Performers in the show have included Ryan Reynolds, Kristen Wiig, Sherri Shepherd, Brooke Shields, Rachel Dratch, Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Sudeikis, Paul Rudd and Martin Short.

The New York Times called Celebrity Autobiography "big-yuks entertainment" and a "merry compendium of the witlessness and wisdom of the rich and famous," and selected it as a critic's pick. The Daily News said it is a "potent comic cocktail...you weep with laughter." The New Yorker called it "inspired." Variety wrote, "Audience members hyperventilate. It should lead a long and happy life." And the New York Post called it "the funniest show in town hands down."

Celebrity Autobiography has toured internationally with acclaimed performances in Los Angeles, D.C., Alaska, Atlanta, Miami, Louisville, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago, Arizona, Austin, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Sydney Opera House and London's West End.

Celebrity Autobiography is the winner of the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.
