Piers Black’s I’m Not Being Funny has been announced as part of Bush Theatre’s 2026 season.
“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 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.
Piers’ play will run at Bush Theatre in the Studio from 7th May to 6th June 2026. Tickets are available now on the Bush Theatre website!
