I'm Not Being Funny

'I'm not gonna stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and tell stories about you and me.' She's signed them both up. Her and her husband. For stand-up comedy. So tonight they're locking themselves in their living room until they've got a 'tight five', delving through their past for material. But some jokes hurt and laughter isn't always the best medicine. With the clock ticking and nothing but a baby monitor for an audience, they wrestle with the spotlight as questions about their future are forced to the surface. A new play about hope, endings and how to survive if a knock knock joke hits you in the gut, Piers Black's I'm Not Being Funny is premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026.
