Laughter on the 23rd Floor – By Neil Simon. Inspired by the playwright’s youthful experiences as a staff writer on Sid Caeser’s 1950's television show, Your Show of Shows, this Neil Simon favourite depicts the harried writing staff as they frantically scramble to top each other with gags while competing for the attention of star madman Max Prince. Filled with classic humour and colourful characters, Laughter on the 23rd Floor is bound to have you …well…laughing.
