Chip and Gus: A Comedy with Balls

Chip and Gus: A Comedy with Balls

Fat Knight Theatre (New York City)Professional company

65 minutestheSpace @ Venue 45
A blisteringly brilliant comedy of two oddball men playing ping-pong in a rundown upstate New York bar. Their chemistry explodes with hilarious, heart-breaking revelations. Gus, a flamboyantly stoic professor of philosophy and socially inept genius, spouts jokes and pedantry. Chip is a goofy struggling music teacher and composer, whose life hangs by a thread. A spectacular, gripping, rapid-fire human symphony. Overall Excellence for Ensemble winner (FringeNYC). ‘Bright, funny and cathartic. An emotionally resonant buddy comedy for thinking audiences’ **** (Time Out). ‘One of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen’ (BroadwayRadio.com).
