This is a one-man show unlike any other. It's the utterly fascinating true-life story of Patrick Combs, who deposited a $95,093.35 "non-negotiable" junk mail check on a whim. When the bank actually cashed the ridiculous check, Combs's impulsive action led him into a staggering and funny David-and-Goliath-like adventure.
Angry bank officers threatened him with jail time and death, the leading bank authority in the United States came out of retirement, astonishing legal twists ensued, and the worldwide media came calling, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, "Good Morning America," David Letterman and Jay Leno.
Combs wove his adventures into "one of the funniest, most fascinating and fastest-moving solo plays to hit New York in many a season," says Broadwayworld.com. "Not only is Man 1 Bank 0 ninety minutes of nonstop laughter, it's also an edge-of-your-seat adventure loaded with unbelievable real-life surprises."
This internationally touring, award-winning show has sold out in venues all around the globe. When we tell you we're absolutely delighted to present it at Stephens you can take that to the bank.
