A collaboration with John Busser (who, truth be told, did most of the heavy lifting and deserves most of the credit, or blame if you prefer).
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!

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.

I'm of an age where stand-up comics were the staple of TV variety shows and Vegas acts as well as the Catskills summers and Miami Beach winters. It was old-school -- "Take my wife, please" -- and this quick and hilarious piece by Norkin & Busser -- a comedy duo if there ever was one -- pays tribute to the old days by going back to the really old days. You can't miss a word, and I chuckled at the timeless -- literally -- set-ups and rim-shots. Bravo!
