 Topic: Laugh Out Loud ComedyPosted: 8/16/04 at 1:36pm |

Help! My theatre group needs suggestions of "laugh-out loud" comedies. Already on our list is "Lend Me A Tenor", "The Foreigner", "Noises Off", "Don't Dress For Dinner", "George Washington Slept Here" and "You Can't Take It With You". Can you think of other plays which have caused your audiences to go through the roof with laughter?!? This might end up being an excellent resource list for future reference - or if one already exists somewhere out there, please reply with link! Gracias! |

It is only a two person show, but we have had great success with "Greater Tuna".

Separate Beds is a new comedy that had audiences laughing throughout. If you'd like further info on it please email me back. The reviews are fantastic. Julie

DIVORCE SALE --- Premiered Off-Broadway (1 block off Broadway) and last summer in Australia. Logline: Neighbors hold a seance to contact the deceased husband of a ditsy mother-in-law. Does have some serious moments but these "moments" act as distancing techniques. Contact playwright at ljstockham813@yahoo.com. It can be sent as an email attachment.

"Faith County" and its sequel "An Evening of Culture" are wonderfully funny - hilarious!

Lie, Cheat and Genuflect by Milmore and VanZandt. Audience complained that their stomachs hurt because of laughing too much. Rumors by Neil Simon. Laughter on the 23rd Floor By Neil Simon. Uses the f-word a lot. Clean it up and kill the play. Three Murders and It's Only Monday. The Day they Kidnapped the Pope. A Tomb with A View. Actually, this is my upcoming Fall production, so I haven't heard the audience's reaction yet, but the actors seem to laugh a lot... Holy Cannoli. We had 'em rolling in the isles with that one. |
