Laughter on the 23rd Floor is Neil Simon’s uproarious comedy inspired by his early days as a young writer for Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows. Set in the 1950s, the play follows a room full of brilliant, fast-talking comedy writers as they scramble to outdo each other with the funniest sketches—all while dealing with eccentric personalities, network interference, and the looming shadow of McCarthyism. At the center of it all is the larger-than-life head writer, Max Prince, whose genius is matched only by his unpredictability.

Notable Reviews:

• “A comic masterpiece! Sharp, fast, and furiously funny.” – The New York Times

• “A laugh-out-loud tribute to the golden age of television comedy.” – Variety

• “Neil Simon at his best—hilarious, poignant, and packed with one-liners.” – Chicago Tribune

Packed with razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life characters, Laughter on the 23rd Floor is a hysterical love letter to the golden age of television and the madmen behind the laughter.
