Only Kidding
Author(s):
Jim Geogham
In this Off Broadway hit, an over-the-hill comic who is desperate for a shot on a late-night TV show has invited a hip young writer to his cottage in the Catskills to help him update his act. They might as well be talking in tongues about what is funny! The second act moves to a seedy club where the mafia-connected owner wants aspiring comics to sign a contract giving him a commission on their future earnings. Then the play goes to comedy heaven: backstage at that late-night TV show. The older comedian
awaits his last chance at the big time and one of the comics from Act 2 is getting his first shot. "[This] acidly funny dissection of the stand-up comedy jungle . . .
crackles with authenticity."-N.Y. Times. "A dazzling comedy, Fresh, clever and above all, funny."-N. Y. Post. "Might make you laugh so hard you won't appreciate what fine writing it is. --N.Y. Daily News. "To be wise about being funny and still be funny-is a rare accomplishment indeed."-N.Y. Newsday.
