About I’m Not Being Funny
‘I’m not gonna stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and tell stories about you and me.' She’s signed them both up. Her and her husband. For stand-up comedy.
So tonight, they’re locking themselves in their living room until they've got a 'tight five', delving through their past for material. But some jokes hurt, and laughter isn't always the best medicine.
With the clock ticking and nothing but a baby monitor for an audience, they wrestle with the spotlight as questions about their future are forced to the surface.
A new play about hope, endings and how to survive if a knock knock joke hits you in the gut, I’m Not Being Funny is written by Piers Black (Catching Comets, Pleasance & UK tour), directed by Traverse Theatre Associate Artist Bryony Shanahan (Bloody Elle, West End) and produced by Prentice Productions (How I Learned To Swim, Brixton House).
