Better Call Shoenstein

by John Busser and Morey Norkin

A collaboration with Morey Norkin (who frankly, should have known better than to collaborate with me)

10 MINUTE - When standup comic Cicero Lipschitz lost the gig of a lifetime, there’s only one man he can turn to. Better call Shoenstein!

Featuring characters mentioned only once in Morey's WHEN IN ROME and John's RELEASE THE KAREN, but their story needs to be told. See what you made us do?

    It warms my heart to see such a winning combination - two collaborators who seem made for each other - coming together to create a very funny play inspired by two separate but equally funny individual projects! I expect sequels and prequels and eventually a franchise. As they say in Hollywood, it's got legs! Laughter is the best medicine. Thank you both (Norkin and Busser) for making me laugh.

    Totally Bonkers! But as I recalled these two characters mentioned only once in each of these playwrights' original Roman confections, I had to read this -- and oh, the sweet smell of success...or is that roasted lamb? It doesn't matter. Want a laugh? You can't go wrong with Busser and Norkin. Borkin? Bousskin? Norsser? No matter.

    A very funny piece... great punning, wordplay, you name it. Each page has a lot of laughs on it. This would definitely keep an audience rolling in the ruins of the auditorium!
