About this show
Jerry Topitzer led a secret double life: Wall Street banker by day, goofball comedy performer by night. As an idealistic graduate, he took a temporary job to tackle a mountain of student debt and through accidental success, became sucked into a world of luxury and lunatics. But at the height of his career, he discovers improv comedy, which brings a whole new meaning to his life. Torn between the worlds of comedy and cash, desperate to find purpose, everything starts to unravel... Winner, Audience Choice and Best Comedy Awards, United Solo Theatre Festival.
