With 50 years of broadcast experience under his suspenders, Larry King is no stranger to the spotlight. But now the world’s most famous interviewer will move from the studio to the stage with a one-man comedy show.

Touring seven cities across America, from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, “Larry King: Standing Up” will include a tell-all account of his early days as a kid growing up in Brooklyn to what his producers call “the hilarious moments in front of and behind the camera.” After the performance, fans will have an opportunity to ask him questions in a Q&A session.

But the real attraction that will spur ticket sales is the sight of the legend standing up — and not actually hunched over a desk with a mic.
