←Recommendations of Better Call Shoenstein

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!

Rapid-fire comic brilliance! Norkin and Busser are at the top of their funny, punny game with BETTER CALL SHOENSTEIN. We need more of this. I truly want to live in this world! Thanks for the laughs.

When I want punny wordplay and quirky characters, I turn either to John Busser or Morey Norkin. A collaboration between the two had to be hilarious, and it is. Somehow the agent for terrible Greek comic Cicero Lipschitz manages to get him a dream booking--at Caesar's Palace--the original one! But when they cancel him in favor of a young fiddler named Nero, he turns to the ancient world's best entertainment lawyer, Brad Shoenstein, who lets loose his greatest weapon, not The Kraken, but The Karen. Cicero's booking is restored and his appearance is a triumph. Read it and laugh.

Excellent comic piece! I was fascinated by the way the stand up comedy was able to be sincere and still not funny. Until it WAS funny! Te3rrific characters and a great story line - but truly funny, funny, funny!

When two great playwrights collide, I mean collaborate, you know your in for a great read.
Norkin and Busser take us on a weird and wonderful time fracture of an adventure between now and ancient Rome, taking in famous historic characters along with characters who have appeared in these two gentlemen plays.
The result? One hilarious short play full of jokes which will have you giggling like a loon, well until The Karen comes along!
Brilliantly funny, bravo chaps!

Oh. My. Zeus! The puns come at you hard and fast in this wacky showbiz comedy from a reasonable facsimile of Ancient Rome. And you know you can't stop thinking about Ancient Rome, so why not laugh about it, too?! If you've ever read a Busser or a Norkin play, you know good, over the top comedy is where they shine. But now that they've put their talents together, get yourself some eclipse sunglasses! So much to love about this comedy!

The anachronisms, bad jokes, terrible puns, and Bullwinkle-worthy historical references are so sadistically funny, it's like it was written by a Borscht Belt Marquis de Sade.

Make that TWO Borscht Belt Marquises des Sades.

The antipodal alliance of Norkin and Busser is what would happen if Sherman and Mr. Peabody returned from a sentence in hell thirsty for revenge.

The confluence of characters from their previous plays provides the foundation for a colosseum of comics, agents, Karens, lawyers and lions. You'll root for the cats.

It reeks of disappointment and lamb but you'll laugh and lap it all up!

HEY-OHHHH!

I laughed, I groaned, I laughed some more. This gloriously manic collaboration between two of the funniest writers on NPX is silly, thigh-slapping fun. The archetypal characters are a joy to watch in action. Comedy gold, my friends. Comedy gold.
