About the show
Jerry Topitzer lived a secret double life: Wall Street banker by day, goofball comedy performer by night. As an idealistic graduate he took a temporary job to tackle a mountain of student debt, and through accidental success found himself sucked into a world of luxury and lunatics. At the height of his career he discovered improv comedy, which brought a whole new meaning to his life. Torn between the worlds of comedy and cash, and desperate to find purpose, everything started to unravel. Produced by Roan Tree Productions, the show has won both the Audience Choice and Best Comedy Awards at the United Solo Theatre Festival.
Why see this show?
A one-person show with a genuine hook — the collision of high finance and goofball comedy performance — that explores what it actually means to find purpose. Warm, funny and grounded in real experience.
