Solo performance

Gerald Dickens in solo performance of A Christmas Carol

A solo performance, sometimes referred to as a one-man show, one-woman show, or one-person show, features a single person telling a story for an audience, typically for the purpose of entertainment. This type of performance comes in many varieties, including autobiographical creations, comedy acts, novel adaptations, vaudeville, poetry, music and dance.[1] In 1996, Rob Becker's Defending the Caveman became the longest-running one-person play in the history of Broadway theatre.
