Only Kidding

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
