  3. Funnyman


New York, 1959. Vaudeville is over, experimental plays are on the rise, and Chick Sherman, the king of funny, is becoming irrelevant. While his longtime agent focuses on booking him a new gig, his daughter Katharine starts working to make a connection to the famous father she never knew. Now being pushed into an unfamiliar role, this celebrity comic has to learn that not everything in life has to have a punchline.Tickets can be purchased through the Box Office at 248-347-0003 or online at TippingPointTheatre.com

Tipping Point Theatre's upcoming production, Funnyman by Bruce Graham, takes a serious look behind the scenes of a celebrated comic's life. It's 1959, and Chick Sherman's funnyman career is beginning its decline into irrelevancy. That all changes when an experimental playwright specifically requests his talents, teaching Chick that not everything in life has to have a punchline.

Tipping Point Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Tipping Point Theatre is at 361 East Cady St, Northville, MI.

The Tipping Point is that one dramatic moment in an epidemic when everything can change all at once…and we’ve reached it in a BIG way! From operating as a “vagabond” theatre company under the umbrella of the Parks and Recreation department, performing in any empty space we could get our hands on and paying actors with smiles and applause – we opened in 2007 with big changes – tipping point changes! Incorporated as a professional, non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the state of Michigan, Tipping Point Theatre opened its doors as a professional Equity theatre company in our permanent facility in downtown Northville. TPT is currently under the direction of James R. Kuhl and led by Board President Nannette Ret. Join us in fulfilling our mission by continued participation as an audience member, actor, designer, donor and advocate for theatre in Michigan. Looking forward to seeing you “at the Point!”
