As part of the 2008 New Zealand Comedy Festival, Wellington played host to Charles Ross's infamous One Man Star Wars Trilogy. I'd heard a lot of good things about his performance - so my buddies and I went along to see what all the fuss was about. We certainly weren't disappointed.
With blisteringly fast dialogue, blink-and-you'll -miss-it in-jokes, and sound effects that even Michael Winslow would envy, Ross reenancts the entire original trilogy in the space of only sixty short minutes. It's an experience that's sure to leave any Star Wars fan dazed, confused, and utterly delighted.
Fortunately Ross is still performing, and you can check out his upcoming tour dates on his official website. If he happens to be in your area, I highly recommend heading along!
