THE STEVEN BANKS HOME ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!

Wow, it's probably been fifteen years since I've seen this thing. My brother (Ryan) introduced me to this one-of-a-kind performance, and I was instantly hooked. It's the story of a 30-something office drone who escapes into his own "show" once he arrives home. Banks displays his immense talent in this one-man musical/comedy/performance art piece.

I (or my brother) used to have a VHS copy of this, but it got lost during one of my numerous "moves" in life. At any rate, I highly recommend it.

P.S. the "uploader" at YouTube has sliced the entire piece into sections. I'll post the beginning video... and the rest as links.

I'm getting through these, it's just taking time.

Marvelous stuff here, Russ. I totally remember you telling me all about this guy.

Brett Pearsons is SO Steven Banks, too! Brett used to do these crazy, prop-heavy, one-man reviews all the time.

I just "Wikied" Banks and found out he was the mime in "The Aristocrats." Good to see he's still performing.
