PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances Larry King - Standing Up on 30 October at the Lyric Theatre has been cancelled.
Larry King is a name that has been woven into the fabric of American culture, being invited into the living rooms of millions of people every night for 25 years on CNN. He has been kissed by Marlon Brando; he's tussled with Jerry Seinfeld; he was the first to sit down with Paris Hilton after she left prison; he's interviewed people that never give interviews like the press-shy Frank Sinatra; and his coverage of 9/11 will forever be remembered. In today's society, you can't be considered a success until you've sat down across the table from the master: Larry King.
Now, the most famous interviewer in the world becomes the subject. For 50 years in broadcasting, King has been the one asking the questions. Now, he turns the tables on himself with his brand new stage show, Larry King - Standing Up. The Emmy®, Peabody and CableACE Award-winning broadcast icon will be giving fans a hilarious and insightful look inside the legend with a series of exclusive, one-night-only performances for audiences across the country.
Starting with his life growing up as a street-smart kid in Brooklyn to tales from his storied career as the greatest interviewer of all time, Larry King's style and wit will give audiences an evening to remember. This unique series of performances will mark King's first stage appearance since completing his triumphant 25-year run on the award-winning CNN program Larry King Live.
