Publisher's summary
“Two comics walk into a relationship....”
Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all, "The Laugh".
Playwright Philip Dawkins was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop The Comedians.
Directed by Nick Borenstein
Note: The Comedians contains adult language. Discretion is advised.

Story
Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall. Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn.

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

Story
Alice Comstock has always been a dutiful wife and an attentive mother, a perfectionist presiding over a flawless home. She’s reliably been her family’s center, the caretaker and problem-solver, until an illness requires her children to assume responsibility for their mother. For Adam, Alice’s youngest, a return home to California sparks a memory of his younger self. Alternating between the present and flashbacks to Adam’s college years, "There Are Flowers in Ohio" explores how the paths not taken shape all of our lives.

Story
Dolan Masters loathes many things: root canals, splinters in his fingers, and people putting toilet paper on the roll wrong - loose end over the top, please. But the one thing he hates more than anything else is Everett freaking Henson. Everett Henson spends more time with animals than people, his best friend, Eli, being the exception. The downside of that friendship means crossing paths with Dolan Masters; the man who rubs Everett wrong in every way possible. But a baby changes everything.

Story
Will is in Bristol for a brand-new start. He’s got his outrageous flatmate, Emma, his job at the bookshop and he’s totally infatuated with Gus. A French Bulldog. An actual relationship with an actual man seems about as real as the science fiction novels Will stacks on shelves all day long. And then into his life walks Ben. Ben is all the things Will isn’t: confident, charming (bordering on cocky), popular, a Jiu Jitsu champion, and generally deflecting life’s problems as easily as dodging a clumsy throw on the mat.

Story
Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

When his best friend asks him to donate his sperm so that she can start a family, Joseph just can’t understand why anyone would bring a child into this calamitous world.

Praised as “a breakneck, hair-raising comic tour of the contemporary American male psyche” by The New York Times, Drinking in America, is a gritty, muscular restaging with star Andre Royo (The Wire) bringing to vivid life more than a dozen colorful characters, each in the throes of intoxication. Written and originated by three-time Obie Award winner Eric Bogosian, this critically acclaimed work takes on a new persona in our present day, with terms like toxic masculinity and male fragility at the forefront of the zeitgeist.

Four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein takes on New York City’s very own political firebrand, Bella Abzug, in his new raucous, heart-rending, and absurdly humorous solo show. Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life, truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The Niceties).

Poignant Drama Unfolds on Stand-Up Comedy Stage
Highly recommended -- but listen to this not for the laughs but for the unfolding of a raw edged exploration of intra- and interpersonal drama underlined by incisive societal commentary. Its lights reach beyond the stage to delineate the lives of all of us in the audience and the fraught world we inhabit, where not all of the jokes are funny. There are plenty of witty punchlines. Some elicit laughter, some leave us feeling queasy. The jokes that fall flat or even offend our sensibilities do so deftly in greater service to the developing storyline and the truths, sometimes uncomfortable, that it plumbs. This is a script and a performance filled with deep feelings, insight, and compassion.

Refreshing angle into showbiz, queer love, romantic dysfunction
I really dug this play's unique perspective into gay romance and show business, where you learn about the conflict through what pieces each lover volunteers (or lets escape) into his public stand up act. The story and the format feel deeply personal and very modern, and the humor is so sincere and really delightful.
The stakes are high and get higher and higher, and while there is acknowledgement of the exhausting celebrity culture of putting ones personal life public, listening to this play feels like following these two performers not as a stranger watching a series of cringe reels or TikToks, but as a genuine stand up comedy fan invested in these comics' sets and success.

Good, bad, ugly, and worth the time
What else can I say? An entertaining yet sad train wreck that is as relatable as it is horrifying. Raw, embarrassing, and everything we “enjoy” in real life comedy. Trigger warnings for depression, talk of unaliving oneself, alcoholism, drug use, bad parenting/abandonment and I’ve probably forgotten some.

Really?
A flawless performance that I thought was funny until it literally made me depressed.
If you don’t come away from this story convinced rehab is a waste….suicide is somehow funny…it’s good to leave your boyfriend after you stuck by him through thick and thin…then in the last segment CM abandons his career ABD says goodbye to his ex in a way that essentially admits he has nothing to live for anymore…if you don’t think this ends with CM committing suicide, you really weren’t paying attention.
I really wish I had never started this.

More tragedy than comedy
This was billed in the intro as a "tragicomedy" but I have to say it was more tragedy than not. The stand up comedy acts - even at the beginning when there wasn't much tragedy going on - weren't at all funny. And once the tragedy got started - it was mostly just bitterness, which of course is meant to come across poorly as a "comedy" act. I get that. But I feel like there should have at least been SOME funny bits in there, given the framework of this play, and there really wasn't. The performances were perfectly fine, just be prepared for this to be a pretty depressing story overall.

Well worth the listen
It took me a little bit of listening to really get into this play. But after a few minutes, I was submerged into the story and the actors. An innovative theatre piece, that tells the story of a romance between two comedians through their on-stage stand-ups.
Actors delivered on a good script, and did a terrific job. There are some laughs along the way, and some pain along the way as the story alternates between the two comedians and their respective careers.
Nicely written, very well acted. A very well worthwhile listen!

Great concept, brilliant execution
Like much of Dawkins’s work, The Comedians is skillfully interwoven. The character development is on point, and the audio play was beautifully acted. I listened in one sitting, and then listened again, appreciating it even more the second time around. Thoroughly enjoyed!
