Piers Black’s new play I’m Not Being Funny will transfer to Bristol Old Vic’s Weston Studio after its run at Bush Theatre!
“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, directed by Bryony Shanahan, and produced by Prentice Productions.
I’m Not Being Funny will run at Bush Theatre 7th May to 6th June and at Bristol Old Vic from 23rd to 27th June.
Tickets are available now on the Bush website and the Bristol Old Vic website!
