He's cool, he's hip, he's short...ish. He's the happening host, the man with a spring in his step (thanks to his platform shoes), the man who puts the 'i-t-y' in Marvelosity! He's the wannabe King of talk -- a driven, terribly insecure and narcissistic fellow, with a bit of a self-destructive bent -- and nothing is off limits as long as it's all about him. He's the one, the only, Martin -- and he will show you just how marvelous he is as he interviews four eccentrically distinct guests in his one man show at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, located at 312 West 36th Street, starting on July 13th, as part of the Eleventh Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival.
