The Bomb

A new comedy by Dana Schwartz, directed by Justin Huen, as part of the PlayGround SF Comedy Festival The Bomb - When the shine on mega-star Alex Rey’s career starts to tarnish, he decides to return to his stand-up roots. But he can’t tell if the laughs he’s getting are real – or just polite. Enter Naomi, a new comic with a quick wit and great impression of Alex. He hires her to test out his material since she isn’t afraid to bomb and he can’t afford to. As Alex wrestles with his fear of failure and Naomi fights to step out of his shadow and find her authentic voice, the two form an unlikely partnership— built on jokes, ego, and the uncomfortable truth behind the laughter.
