One Man Dark Knight: A Batman Parody, by Charles Ross

Directed by TJ Dawe,

“Sunday’s show was so packed that I ended up at the front , on the floor, with the kids, and we couldn’t have been happier or more enthralled.” – Peter Birnie, Vancouver Sun

“A new star is blazing in our theatrical firmament: Charles Ross” – Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight

Why do we fall?

To learn how much body-padding we need. From the madmen behind One Man Star Wars and One Man Lord of the Rings (Charles Ross and TJ Dawe) comes an irreverent homage to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Two-faced super-nerd, Charles Ross, lovingly tears Nolan’s Masterpiece a new one, in his solo show One Man Dark Knight: A Batman Parody. No costumes, no sets, no Batmobiles- Ross takes you on a one hour joyride, from the caped crusader’s origins to his epic battles against Gotham’s super-villains. This town deserves a better class of parody, and Ross is going to make sure you get it. Why so serious….?

Charles Ross has blazed across the theatre world with his “One Man Star Wars Trilogy” and “One Man Lord of the Rings”. He’s toured the world with “The One Man Star Wars Trilogy”, doing a five month run Off-Broadway in New York, a week at The Garrick Theatre in London’s West End, two sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, appearances on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “The Today Show” and “Last Call with Carson Daly”. He did a series of bumpers for an HBO Cinemax Star Wars marathon. He’s played regional theatres and festivals across Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and the UK. He’s played to audiences of thousands at a time at Star Wars Conventions and other Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions. He did a command performance for the cast and crew of Vin Diesel’s film “The Chronicles of Riddick”. He’s hung out with Seth Green. He’s had lunch on the set with Sir Ian McKellen.
