Borrowing Funny

An Award-Winning Comedy by Matt Wexler

Love comedy? You'll love it! Hate comedy? You'll love it!

The Wounded Cobra Theatre presents an illegally legal 90's joke heist in two acts

In the year 1999, national comic headliner and infamous joke thief, Tennille Kincaid, is brazenly confronted (mid-comedy show) by hometown comedian, Jacey Weisz, for stealing one of the burgeoning comedian’s favorite jokes. 

Jacey is then fired on the spot, and banned by the tandem of Tennille and business-centric comedy club owner, Reuben Wyatt. 

Subsequently, Jacey’s replacement comic and overconfident slacker, Byron Keithly, is also being primed by the underhanded duo to endure the same unfortunate fate as his fellow predecessor. 

However, catching on to their nefarious intentions, Byron utilizes Tennille’s own tactics against her during his opening performance, causing an incensed Tennille to publicly retaliate against the underdog comic. 

Meanwhile, Jacey makes the vengefully bold gamble to call in a local police deputy, Officer Jill Hail, and attempts to get Tennille arrested for larceny and possession of stolen property at an impromptu greenroom face-off between the 5 dysfunctional characters that will forever alter the trajectory of the stand-up profession.
