Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Laughter on the 23rd Floor is an adult comedy writen by Neil Simon.
This broadway hit is a homage to the author's early days in show business when he worked as a junior jokesmith for Sid Caesar's YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS. He was stuck in a room with a bunch of tne looniest comedy writers ever,who grew up to be the likes of Mel Brooks and Larry Gelbart and others.The play is a memoir told by Neil Simon's alter ego, Lucas. As the writers try to top each other with gags while competing for the attention of head madman Max Prince. Meanwhile Max contends with network brass who fear his humor is too sophistcated for middle America and who want to cut the shows costs and time on air. A truly funny show
