Voilà, a show that couldn't possibly be bad: All About Walken: The Impersonators of Christopher Walken. No way to mess that one up. YouTube commenters on the Walken-starring Fatboy Slim "Weapon of Choice" video describe him best: Walken "+ anything = freakalicious," he is "old and weatherbeaten," "the beastliest," and "kicks a large amount of ass." But you know that already; you're probably screaming "More cowbell!" right this second. The show's creators are actors who came up with the idea because it's almost impossible not to come up with if you're a theater student you start out impersonating each other, and soon you're impersonating each other impersonating Jay Mohr impersonating Walken. The show completely spirals out of control from those nearly straightforward portrayals: We hear they do a Wizard of Oz in which all the characters are played by Christopher Walken. Many of the actors have Bay Area backgrounds, but All About Walken has been a success in Los Angeles for the past two years.
