Review: Alec Baldwin Doing Andy Warhol

Last Thursday, January 20, Alec Baldwin participated in an event celebrating the release of Lapham’s Quarterly‘s Winter 2011 issue “Celebrity,” held at Joe’s Pub in Los Angeles. “The Outlet” has a  review of his performance:
“Baldwin took the stage for meditations on ambition and fame first from John Adams. Baldwin makes for an august founding father but still managed to turn the young Adams’ outsized thirst for success into a hilarious deadpan that mocked its own seriousness. The Andy Warhol impression was even better, though. Kicked off by an incident in which someone attempted to buy Warhol’s ‘aura’, Baldwin’s nasally artist/starfucker bemoans his own lack of total celebrity and those who ‘open their mouth, and the aura vanishes.’The celebrity-on-celebrity irony was awesome.”
