Celebrity One-Man Hamlet

“  Carl’s 90-minute solo is as much fun as its title suggests... It's crazy hilarious.”

“Quirky, smart, a breakout hit...Carl expertly skewers Busey's public persona in a 90-minute play that's laugh-out-loud funny.”

“Hysterical… A brilliant act of mimicry, with Carl embodying the exaggerated persona of a man over 40 years his senior with practised ease. This is a show that may seem like a clash of ideas, but Shakespeare has never met Hollywood this entertainingly before.”

“Deliciously deranged... Mr. Carl is always in complete control as he races through this out-of-control performance. He and director Michole Biancosino know just how far to let things run off the rails before bringing Mr. Carl back on point by having him deliver some actual Shakespeare, which he does trippingly. It’s a head-spinning performance.”

“The heady mix of high and low-brow comedy celebrates Shakespeare's classic by using it to reflect upon the jaded, celebrity-crazed, meme-obsessed world around us.”

“So demented a concept that it actually works...it had [the] audience in hysterics.”
