Grist To The Mill

'Punchline' is a new play by critically acclaimed writer Ross Ericson.

Why do you want to be funny?

That's the question they keep asking him and he thought he knew the answer, but now he's not too sure. In fact he's not sure about anything anymore. Why is he putting himself through this? Is this some sort of midlife crisis? What exactly is funny anyway?

This fast paced one act play explores the nature of comedy and why in the world anybody would want to become a comedian - or an actor, or a musician, or even a writer when it comes to it. Why don't you just stop listening to that little voice in your head, settle for what you've got, buy a motorbike and find yourself some Lithuanian gaol bait?

Funny, sharp, incisive and more than just mildly amusing.
