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 apart 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 Carolines On Broadway."
