Coco Can't Stop!

Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop but he does at Participating

Cineplex Entertainment Theatres for One Night Only – Thursday, July 7, 2011

Theatrical engagement at select Cineplex theatres follows in Toronto and Vancouver on Friday, July 8, 2011

TORONTO, ON – June 27, 2011: FilmsWeLike and Cineplex Entertainment’s (“Cineplex”) Front Row Centre Events will present the highly anticipated Rodman Flender documentary “Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop” at participating Cineplex theatres across Canada on Thursday, July 7.  In Toronto and Vancouver, the documentary will begin a limited engagement at select Cineplex theatres on Friday, July 8, 2011.

In 2010, after a much-publicized departure from hosting NBC’s Tonight Show, ex-late night host Conan O’Brien hit the road on a 32-city tour with a music and comedy show, ending his 22-year relationship with the network. The “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” tour was O’Brien’s answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on television, radio and the Internet for six months following his last show.

Filmmaker Rodman Flender’s resulting documentary, Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most improvisational time of his career.  It offers a window into the private writers room and rehearsal halls as O’Brien’s “half-assed show” (the star’s own words) is almost instantly assembled and mounted to an adoring fan base. 

At times angry but mostly hilarious, O’Brien works out his feelings about the very-public separation. Throughout the documentary, O’Brien uses comedy and rockabilly music, engaging in bits with on-stage guests such as Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Jim Carrey.  He also, performs a duet with Jack White and sweats out manic Elvis Presley covers with his band and back-up singers.  The audience will see a comic who does not stop performing, singing, pushing his staff and himself. 

Did Conan O’Brien hit the road to give something back to his loyal fans, or did he travel across the continent, stopping at cities large (New York, Las Vegas) and remote (Enoch, Alberta) to fill a void within himself?  Find out July 7th as Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop will be presented at select Cineplex theatres. 

Beginning June 17th tickets can be purchased at participating theatre box offices, through the Cineplex Mobile Apps and online at http://www.cineplex.com or the Cineplex mobile site m.cineplex.com.  Cineplex Entertainment presents Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop on Thursday, July 7, 2011 at the following theatres:
