Come see the hilarious results in a performance in which he plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the ships, fights the battles, and condenses the plots into just sixty minutes. Charles "One Man" Ross began touring his theatrical one-man Star Wars trilogy show in 2002 and hasn't stopped since. The master-impressionist pilots his audience through 40 characters and 3 masterworks, all in 3600 seconds.

Charlie's One Man Star Wars Trilogy has skyrocketed in popularity, resulting in current world tours with shows performed at a variety of locations such as New York, London, and Dubai . One Man Star Wars has performed over 1,200 times in more than 180 cities across four continents.
