The Emmy nominated writer and performer Pack previously commented, “I would listen to a lot of books-on-tape, particularly autobiographies, and was astounded at what people would write about. When I would get a hold of one of these books and read it out loud to friends, they’d insist I was making it up. But people actually wrote these words! So I decided to put the material up in front of an audience, knowing that it would be extremely entertaining.”
Pack added, "We are very excited to be a part of this year’s New York Comedy Festival. Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words has been enthusiastically well received uptown, and we can't wait to bring it to Caroline's on Broadway.”
