Breaking the Fifth Wall is running through October 5 at SoHo Playhouse.
Award-winning comedian and viral sensation Lou Wall will bring their new show, Breaking the Fifth Wall, to New York City for a limited three-week engagement. Breaking the Fifth Wall is a comedy about lying, the internet, and mental breakdowns: a forensic and frankly ludicrous deep dive into the space where real-life and stand-up comedy collide.
"Bringing this show to Soho Playhouse is literally my dream come true,' Wall told BroadwayWorld. "When I was little and my mum used to drive us into the city to see my grandparents, apparently I used to cry in the back of the car. My mum would ask me why I was crying and I'd say, 'I love all of the pretty lights!' So coming to the coolest city in the world is just like a childhood dream come true."
When Lou Wall’s appearance on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala went globally viral, their set (a story about trying to sell a bed frame on Facebook Marketplace) was viewed over 50 million times in 48 hours, leaving thousands of commenters and everyone who’s seen the piece live demanding to know one thing … is the story true? In Breaking the Fifth Wall, Wall presents the sequel to their infamous bed saga and finally answers all the burning questions.
