UPDATE: Rob Lowe Reschedules One-Man Show In San Jose
SAN JOSE, CA – Actor and former Brat Packer Rob Lowe is taking his one-man show, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: LIVE!, on a national tour with a June 30, 2018 stop at San Jose’s Center for the Performing Arts.
Based on his two NY Times Best-Selling memoirs, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, released in 2011, and the 2014 Love Life, Lowe has created a peak behind the curtain at Hollywood, fame, fatherhood, marriage and a four-decade career.
“The humor is first class, with the jokes and funny anecdotes keeping the audiences in stitches for most of the night," according to Broadway World.

In addition to storytelling, Lowe will include a Q&A and insider film clips and photos.
“This isn’t a regurgitation of the books, because that wouldn’t be very much fun,” Lowe said. “This is very much its own beast, but it does have some of the same feel of the books.”

“I decided to put what would be the third book into a show where I could go out directly to an audience and share and have an exchange with them directly,” he said.
Lowe recently wrapped the third season of the CBS medical drama Code Black. He created and produced The Lowe Files, an A & E adventure series in which he and his two sons searched out unsolved mysteries. Lowe also is currently directing and starring in the remake of the The Bad Seed.
