"Maybe it's stupid. But I think this will work."

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, Billie and Peter wrestle with the spotlight as questions about their future are forced to the surface.

"Black’s writing is a delicious concoction of humour, wit, heart, emotion and intensity." ★★★★ - Theatre Weekly
