BORROWING FUNNY To Make World Premiere With Wounded Cobra Theatre

“Borrowing Funny” is being performed at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora, CO 80010, September 11 through 27.

In the 1990’s, national comic headliner, Tennille Kincaid, is confronted mid-comedy show by hometown comedian, Jacey Weisz, for stealing one of her favorite jokes. After being fired on the spot by business-centric comedy club owner, Reuben Wyatt, and being replaced by overconfident slacker, Byron Keithly, Jacey makes the bold gamble of calling in a local police deputy, Officer Jill Hail, to arrest Tennille for larceny and possession of stolen property. In an effort to save his weekend, Reuben suggests they fight over the material in the first ever head-to-head comedy kumite, a no holds barred contest that will usher in a new era of modern stand-up comedy. 

Director Mike Langworthy has cast Katy White as Tennille, Jeff Jesmer as Reuben, Lexi Wilson as Jacey, Darius Cade as Byron and Jordan Hull as Officer Jill.
