Three Guys Naked From the Waist Down

Despite its title, there is in fact no nudity in the show and Naked from the Waist Down is a metaphor for the vulnerability of a stand-up comedian

In the first act of the play, each of the three actors does his own stand-up routine. Then they get together and manage to get an appearance on the Johnny Carson show (the play is set in the mid-eighties)

From Johnny Carson, they go on to their own sitcom Hello Fellas about three cops in LA who need to dress in drag as part of their jobs, and then on to a world tour

And then the exploitation, embarrassment and degradation of having to dress up as women, all becomes too much for them, and so comes the big crash, and how each of the characters handles it

"Riotous!. . . Bursting with daring ideas about how to do musicals. It transforms stand up comedy into new unexpected forms of theatrical energy" ~ N.Y. Times

"Breezy, funny, vulgar, fresh athletic, corny, sentimental and irresistible. The entire conception is strikingly original and oh those three guys! Should run as long as there's a laugh in us" ~ N.Y. Daily News
