Portfolio Weekly Review of Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Shannon Dunlap calls the show, “more humourous than hilarious”.
The play gets off to a slow start, but the production gathers speed as the number of actors on the stage increases. The group chemistry lends a more relaxed feel, and the players seem more comfortable in large numbers. There are definite moments of slapstick, but overall the humor is sophisticated. The playbill cautions that there will be adult language, and it’s not kidding. I would have kept count, but I ran out of fingers and toes. And that was only the first 10 minutes. Would-be comedians provide their own rim-shots throughout the story.
