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 show business. The show is an evening of jaw-dropping, hard-to-believe vignettes excerpted straight from published celebrity tell-alls: from the 'he-said, she-said' accounts of Burt and Loni, Tiger Woods' "golf lessons," the re-enactment of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's courtship, to a hilarious ensemble "playlet" edited together from the memoirs of the most famous love triangle in Hollywood history - Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and Eddie Fisher. Audiences leave the show asking "Did these celebrities really write that?" Yup - we are not making any of it up!
Other major characters featured in CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY include: Ricky Martin, Justin Bieber, Sylvester Stallone, David Hasselhoff, Diana Ross, Ivana Trump, Vanna White, Cher, Neil Sedaka, Kenny Loggins, Britney Spears and more.
Created by Emmy-nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY has been playing to sold-out audiences and rave reviews in New York City since fall 2008 and is one of the most critically acclaimed, "buzzed-about shows" of recent years, according to Entertainment Weekly.
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 New York 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." The show has been featured by many major media outlets, including ABC's "The View" and "Nightline," NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly," NPR's "Morning Edition," CBS's "Sunday Morning, " CNN's "American Morning," and BRAVO's "A-List Awards" as well as Time and the Wall Street Journal.

The show also enjoyed international success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and then at London's Leicester Square Theatre where it received rave reviews and played to sold-out audiences. The tour continued with a successful one month engagement at the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
