What CELEBRITY should do a ONE-MAN SHOW?#1

Posted: 3/1/09 at 6:16pm

Robin Williams is returning to Broadway with a very limited engagement of his one-man show, 'Weapons of Self-Destruction.' Will Ferrell just recently opened his show, 'You're Welcome America...'

Who would YOU like to see doing a one-man show?


My answers:

-Bob Saget: I hear he's hilarious, although maybe too vulgar...

-Emilio Estevez: He's been amazing in everything from The Outsiders to The Breakfast Club to Young Guns I and II to Mighty Ducks! I want to see it.

-Minnie Driver: She was SO good in Good Will Hunting and I just like her...LOL



What are your ideas?!

I think Daniel Day Lewis would do a fantastic one man show. Hell, his movies practically are!

Cheyenne Jackson, those thighs deserve a show of their own.

Maybe Ben Stiller?

He's kind of funny...and his dad could make a funny cameo.

The OP said "celebrity" - so far, kind of a B list. It has to be someone who can sell out a house on his/her own. Frankly, I'm having trouble thinking of anyone...

Many of the people I listed I just put for their distinctive voices. My bad... yea it was a weak list.

Actually she's been fine-tuning her one-woman show SWIZZLE SWITS for some time now. It's said to be ground-breaking.

I second Bette Midler. I'm surprised she hasn't had one already...?
