Romantic feuds, personal recounts, devastating heartbreak, and jubilant praise: celebrities have been through it all, and now other celebrities will read it aloud for an intimate evening with your favorite stars.

Tony Award winner Andrea Martin, Academy Award nominee Nia Vardalos, Emmy Award winner Tate Donovan: these are just some of the stars representing the calibre of beloved celebrities seen on stage each night. Some celebs join for two weeks at a time, some just for a night or two. And there are also surprise appearances along the way: *Celebrity Autobiography* is a refreshingly unpredictable night of mayhem and laughs as stars reveal it all, live for an audience.

It’s “a merry compendium of the witlessness of the rich and famous,” says The New York Times.

What to watch for
- This special evening of entertainment was created by Eugene Pack, co-developed with Dayle Reyfel.
- In addition to co-directing, Pack and Reyfel also host and appear in *Celebrity Autobiography* alongside the changing cast to guide the event.
- Featured authors whose work is read aloud may include Ivana Trump, Vanna White, Mr. T, Tommy Lee, Sylvester Stallone, 'N Sync, and Madonna.
