My Damn Channel Launches Uber Ironic 'Celebrity Autobiography' Channel
Cast Includes Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Eugene Pack Performing Unintentional Comedy Written By Celebs Including Tommy Lee, Suzanne Somers, Tiger Woods
NEW YORK, May 19 -- Fame on Fame is the comedic formula behind the new web series, Celebrity Autobiography, premiering today on http://www.MyDamnChannel.com/CelebrityAutobiography . This theater show, now in its third year of sold out performances in New York, is available for the first time off stage and online at My Damn Channel, who will also syndicate the web series throughout its digital network. Celebrities perform unintentionally comedic, superstar memoirs before a live audience. The outcome is like watching someone pratfall down a huge flight of stairs without getting hurt.
Will Forte recounts the salacious romantic life of Tommy Lee from, "The Dirt," by Motley Crue; Kristen Wiig recites the 'early' poems of Suzanne Somers; and Eugene Pack reads the timely Tiger Woods' autobiography, "How I Play Golf," (which sounds exactly like what you're thinking.)
New videos premiere every Wednesday on My Damn Channel including Michael Urie, Susie Essman, Richard Kind, Kristen Johnston, Rachel Dratch, Mario Cantone, Sherri Shepherd, Steve Schirripa, Scott Adsit, Alan Zweibel, Florence Henderson performing the unedited words of Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Ozzy Osbourne, Mr. T, Vanna White, and more.
Dan Weinstein, head of digital entertainment at Salient Media, and an Executive Producer, says, "Celebrity Autobiography is bringing the theatre to a much broader and younger audience through the use of new media and by providing an added level of engagement around the content. It has become a new, truly multi-platform brand."
My Damn Channel Founder/CEO Rob Barnett refused to recite the love letters of Kenny Loggins and instead spoke as himself, "We never imagined My Damn Channel would break into theatre, but the bad boys and girls of Celebrity Autobiography master the uber irony our audience loves." Barnett says, "Filming continues at live performances every month, meaning we get to leave our laptops behind for face-to-face fun with big stars and big fans."
