After a year of sold-out shows from NYC to London, musical theater fanatic, cruise ship performer and celebrity stalker Lance is back in NYC with six special farewell shows featuring local celebrities. As always, Lance has invited Cher, Liza Minnelli, Hugh Jackman, Gloria Estefan and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be guests on his makeshift talk show, but they've yet to confirm. However, an exciting roster of NYC stars have confirmed their appearance including: Original "Fame" star Laura Dean, SONDHEIMAS producer David Levy, beloved chanteuse Tammy Faye, YouTube Sensation Christina Bianco and TimeOut theater critic Adam Feldman.

"I've been tweeting so many famous celebrities for the past year to be on my show," says Lance, currently stage managing for his two gay dads on the S.S. Spectacular. "I haven't gotten a single retweet or fave from any of them! But all of these local celebrities begged me to share the spotlight to talk about themselves and their upcoming projects. How could I say no?"

"Late with Lance!" (written & performed by New York writer-director-actor Peter Michael Marino) received 5-star reviews at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, followed by a packed performance at London's Arts Theatre West End and capacity crowds from NYC to Hollywood.

Meet Peter Michael Marino's beloved alter-ego Lance...celebrity stalker and pathological musical theater fanatic. After a 15-year hiatus from the cabaret world, Lance is back with his own brand of variety talk show. This solo-talk-show-spoof with a musical theater twist features original song parodies, The Sound of Music performed in five minutes, homages to the films Fame and West Side Story, and many more ridiculous surprises. Lance has suffered for his art. Now it's your turn!

Peter Michael Marino is the performer and creator of Lance's critically acclaimed cabaret spoofs All About Me! and More About Me! - which rocked the cabaret circuit in the mid-90s and led to a Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Achievement, and a number of MAC Award nominations. He is also the creator of Desperately Seeking the Exit which toured the world for over two years and recounted his tale of writing the flop Blondie musical Desperately Seeking Susan. In addition to directing dozens of solo comedies, Peter is the co-producer of Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet as Performed by David Carl and the co-creator/producer of SOLOCOM at The PIT which has debuted over 250 original solo comedies. www.petermmarino.com
