Celebrity Autobiography is a gimmick but my god it’s a neat one. The premise is simple: good comedians read bad biographies by mediocre celebrities. It’s a wonder no one trumped creator Eugene Pack to it. That said, Tesco’s book aisle has never been riper for reading material.
‘We couldn’t make this stuff up,’ Pack stresses at the start, before Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie steps up to read the prologue from David Hasselhoff’s Don’t Hassel the Hoff. The title is enough to have us chuckling and as Urie pauses for effect, whetting his finger to turn the first page, we don’t stop.
The show’s success depends heavily on the talents of its rolling cast of comics and happily there is no weak link in tonight’s line-up. Pack and co-founder Dayle Reyfel brilliantly nail Tiger Woods and Diana Ross and the guest Brits – James Lance, Rufus Hound and Read more of the review

Jules - 9 October 2010:
I'll be honest, I booked to see this show initially for the guest star of the night, David Tennant, and yes he was brilliant - his 'Whoo do you love?!!' a la Richard Burton will make me laugh for a long time - But I came away singing the praises of the rest of the cast and recommending it to anyone who would listen. It's such a simple premise that you do wonder it's not really been done before. A group of talented actors/comedians get together and read out some of the more 'choice' parts of celebrities gifts to literature. Your mind boggles how some of these books got past an editor, let alone got published. From the total banality of Britney's Crossroads Diary to the soap-opera of Elizabeth Taylor's life it was excellently performed by all and totally hysterical. I can't remember the last time I'd laughed so much and from the sound of the audience they all loved it too. It's still on in London, limited to once a month I think - catch it if you can, you won't regret it. ...
