MLG has crafted a brilliantly absurd AND deeply sobering pressure cooker that forces us to laugh while staring down the barrel of our own cultural complacency. Weaponizing the mechanics of a sketch comedy show, a literal life-or-death ultimatum, the piece masterfully skewers society, and the ultimate joke is on us. Highly recommend.

A truly fun comedy for fans of variety sketch shows such as SNL, Mad TV, Friday's, and the like. The dialogue is sharp and the script balances between the wackiness of the characters mixed with the high stakes of an incredibly dark situation in such a way that keeps the story fun without ever going into the distasteful. Great pick for any theatre companies that want a new show that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of audiences while having an edge.

MARSHALL LOGAN GIBBS has a real feel for comedy. “This Show Was Supposed To Be Funny” is a delightful comedy with drama (a kid with a bomb and gun). The characters are interesting and the actors, who are cast in the roles, will absolutely love it.This is a play that will be a favorite of audiences. I highly recommend it be read and produced. Bravo, Marshal!
