“Five years ago, John Archer and I brainstormed at the Magic Circle in London about incorporating deceased celebrities into the classic Celebrity Smart Ass routine. John took this concept and refined it through performances in various venues, combining a foolproof method with his comedic brilliance. The result is Celebrity Dead Ass, now available for all audiences to enjoy.” – Bill Abbott
Celebrity Dead Ass Routine
The performer showcases a fascination with deceased celebrities and the peculiar circumstances surrounding their deaths. A collection of large cards, each featuring the name of a different dead celebrity, is presented. The performer shares bizarre, amusing, and unusual anecdotes about how these celebrities met their end.
A volunteer is invited to the stage to shuffle and examine the celebrity cards. A humorous ‘secret device’—a professional pop-up fishing net—is introduced to assist in selecting one of the celebrities.
A large envelope is displayed, claiming to contain a photo of one of the dead celebrities. The envelope is placed on the stage, and the volunteer stands on it to ensure no tampering occurs.
With complete freedom, the volunteer discards all but one celebrity card. They reveal that their chosen celebrity is Marilyn Monroe.
The envelope is lifted, and the prediction is unveiled… a skeleton! The performer humorously claims this is a recent photo of Marilyn Monroe. To address any skepticism, they unfold the image to show the lower half of the skeleton, insisting it must be Marilyn due to the distinctive hips.
Finally, the photo is turned around to reveal a vibrant image of MARILYN MONROE!
