“We are so excited to be working with James Corden on this project,” said Howard and Guy Lawrence from Disclosure. “He’s so funny and creative and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the table for our ‘American Express Unstaged’ show. It’s so impressive to see how he’s made the transition to the entertainment industry in America; he’s doing an amazing job.”

James Corden (“The Late Late Show,” “Into the Woods,” “One Man, Two Guvnors,” “Gavin & Stacey”) is a triple threat starring on stage, film, and television. He’s known around the world as a Tony Award®-winning performer on Broadway, a BAFTA-winning star of a UK television series, a feature film actor, and an acclaimed host, writer, and producer in several genres of television. Since Corden took over as host of the hit CBS staple “THE LATE LATE SHOW” on March 23, 2015, the show has generated numerous buzzworthy viral videos (23 of which boast more than 1 million online views), reached series highs in viewers and earned a Critics’ Choice Awards nomination. American Express enlisted Corden on the project to lend his theatrical expertise to the production and help create an engaging experience for fans in attendance and as well as those viewing the live performance online.

"I’m excited to work with American Express and Disclosure to produce my first live music event,” said Corden. "Howard and Guy are extremely talented individuals who have taken the world by storm with their music, and I am privileged to be able to create a memorable experience for their fans all over the world.”

“At American Express, we are constantly raising the bar on immersive and interactive entertainment experiences for our Card Members and all music fans,” said Walter Frye, vice president, sponsorships and branded entertainment, American Express. “For this installment of ‘American Express Unstaged,’ we are excited to give fans at home the opportunity to be a part of the show through the Unstaged app, in which they will be able to create their own versions of the Disclosure Face and select images will be featured during the show.”
