This blog usually focuses on traditional arts, not necessarily movies or comedians, but I'm going to make an exception in this case to reveal my inner geek and encourage others to get in touch with theirs. Charles Ross takes his One Man Star Wars act on tour around America. He is a comedian who tried out performing the first movie of the Star Wars trilogy as a skit during a normal comedy routine at a comedy club and discovered it was a hit. As Ross puts it: there is a little geek in all of us. From there Ross expanded the skit to include all three movies and made it a standalone show. And now we get to enjoy the epic sci-fi trilogy from our childhood in a way we've never experienced them before.
This is a clip from one of his shows back in 2007. His performance has improved in 5 years, but this will give you a general idea of what to expect:
