About the Play: Duncan has always been a pretty boring guy. Then he stumbles upon Brenda, a sad young woman who’s about to end her life. Convinced he’s fallen in love, Duncan strikes up a desperate deal: if he can get her to laugh, she’ll give life another shot. There’s just one catch: Duncan isn’t funny. At all.
A contemporary life and death tragicomedy of three misfits, Punch Up navigates a hostage situation and a life-or-death comedy lesson to show just how far we’ll go for a laugh, and along the way celebrates some of the most iconic moments and schticks of classic comedy.
General Admission seating. Bring your own chairs. No Intermission.
Strong language and mature content and subject matter. Recommended as age 14+.
“It’s been a blast directing this play and I look forward to seeing you all this summer!” – Carey Nicholson
