About Jack and Zoe Comedy
A Night of Drama is an interactive comedy show from Jack and Zoe Comedy, performed at Belly Button during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show sees a prolific director guiding a company of comedians through his dramatic masterpiece while the audience showers them with bottomless banana peels — all of which are provided. The conceit asks whether theatre can survive audience scepticism: if the director fails to deliver something dramatic, the peels fly; if he succeeds, theatre lives another day. The show features audience participation and improvised elements that may touch on sensitive themes.
Why see this show?
If you've ever sat through ponderous theatre feeling obligated to applaud, this show is for you — banana peels included. Jack and Zoe Comedy have built a show around audience scepticism that is both gleefully anarchic and oddly touching.
