I enjoyed Dawes' story about stand-up comics, an interesting subject for a short play. Sharply written, they follow Alyx and Jordan, trying to build up the courage to perform their routines in front of an audience that might not be so friendly...playwrights, sound familiar? I think the story is about making important contacts and overcoming abject fear to achieve one's goal. Perhaps also apt for writers who are trying to break through in a difficult environment. Well done!
