Theatre West (Hollywood, CA)
The tumultuous lives of stand-ups get their due in the new comedy Against The Wall. Based on playwright Charlie Mount’s real-life experiences working as a comedian in New York, this theatrical premiere follows volatile young funny man Jeff, who turns to hostility in front of the mic when life stops having meaning away from it. Worried he’s heading for a crash, Jeff’s best friend sets him up with a beautiful performance artist whose environmentalism masks her own deep well of pain and psychic distress. Together, these two angst-ridden souls begin knocking down each other’s walls, uncovering truths about their own comedic sensibilities, and something like love.
