Martin Short does a send-up of all celebrities with a “one-man” show that also features a talented ensemble. His Broadway and TV comedy skills lead to impressive and funny numbers. The humor is often scatological and the central theme is the ridiculousness of fame, but moments of true wit shine through (Glick makes a visit).
Short overplays himself with clichés; childhood abuse, drug abuses, name dropping. He maintains this megalomania while telling a fake autobiography, but permits upstaging by the cast to reveal his ruse. The romp never takes itself seriously—only one act—thus the audience gets laugh-filled ride.
