That’s who he plays in One A.M.<\/em>, which is a one-character piece of Charlie, very drunk from a night out, trying to get into up to bed. It’s a fantastic exploration of how much physical comedy you can get out of essentially one person and two rooms. And it’s a lot.<\/p>\n

Split up into two parts because of YouTube’s length limitations.<\/p>\n
