Richard Marsh is kicking ass and celebrating Christmas... and he's all out of asses to kick.Houston has a present under its tree this year, as the writer/performer/comedian Richard Marsh is spending his last days before Christmas performing his one-man reproduction offrom December 20-22.

AndWith this controversy settled, now larger questions can be answered – namely, how did this one-man stunt-filled poetry retelling come to be?

I watched it again with an eye of how I’m going to adapt this story and tell it. We tell it pretty faithfully.
In the end, it seems Marsh is not only getting laughs, but also is a part of an unofficial movement, as theaters more and more are into booking parody-versions of popular franchises to be seen live.Friends: A Musical Parody, The Office: A Musical Parody, Singfeld: An Unauthorized Musical Parody About Nothing, this is something of a new genre: designed by fans that can both honor and roast with the same brush.
