Bloated in Vegas

Elvis Presley, his tailor, and a dangerously unforgiving jumpsuit…

The story

When a Lower East Side tailor is plucked from obscurity to dress a king – well, not a king, but THE King, Elvis Presley – he learns that beyond the seductive lights of Las Vegas, nothing is quite what it seams. Will our tailor survive the trappings of fame? Will Elvis’s jumpsuit hold up under his, er, “overindulgence”? Or will they both end up BLOATED IN VEGAS?

This one-man comedy recently had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received 4 and 5 star reviews, in addition to rave audience reviews. We are currently looking to partner with a regional theatre to co-produce its American premiere. Please get in touch if you’re interested in discussing further.
