"Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words" is the brainchild of Eugene Pack. As Pack explains, "I would listen to a lot of books-on-tape, particularly autobiographies, and was astounded at what people would write about. If I got a hold of one of the books, I'd read it out loud to a friend, and they'd insist I was making it up….but people actually wrote these words. I thought that putting the material up in front of an audience would be extremely entertaining."
One night, Pack had access to a comedy space and asked a group of fellow performers and comedians to bring in excerpts of autobiographies that were not necessarily written to be funny. The evening was an instant success---and it soon became a monthly performance piece, co-hosted and co-produced by Dayle Reyfel. After covering over 300 different bios, "In Their Own Words" is never short of material because every week, someone else has written their life story!
The line up of revolving performers who will interpret the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous includes Bob Balaban, Rachel Dratch ("Saturday Night Live"), Susie Essman ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Will Forte ("Saturday Night Live"), Cheyenne Jackson ("Xanadu"), two-time Emmy Award winner Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind ("Spin City" & "The Producers" on Broadway), Carson Kressley ("How to Look Good Naked"), Tony winner Andrea Martin ("Young Frankenstein"), Tony Roberts ("Xanadu"), Seth Rudetsky (Legally Blonde MTV), two-time Tony nominee Claudia Shear, Sherri Shepherd ("The View"), Michael Urie ("Ugly Betty"), Emmy winner Bruce Vilanch, Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live"), Tony winner BD Wong, Tony winner Karen Ziemba, Alan Zweibel, Dayle Reyfel and Emmy nominee Eugene Pack.
