SHUT UP SIT DOWN & EAT is the hilarious journey of emotional dysfunction - Italian Style! When a therapist fails to arrive on time for a group therapy session, four impatient Italian Americans decide to take their issues into their own hands. Performed over 120 times at theatres, comedy clubs, and casinos around the country, SHUT UP SIT DOWN & EAT was nominated by The Off Broadway Alliance for Best Unique Theatrical Experience. The play is considered a "plomedy," which the Urban Dictionary defines as "a genre of theatrical event that blends the wit of stand-up comedy with the intensity of a one-man show presented in an innovative play format by professional comedians."

The show has been called "funny, tragic, and just a little syrupy, anyone with a sense of humor will find laughs in this show." Theatermania, "Shut Up, Sit Down, and Enjoy! From tear-jerking to gut-busting, Shut Up Sit Down & Eat has charm, wit, laugh out loud humor and a few "aw" worthy moments" OffOffOnline, "Shut Up Sit Down & Eat is 90 minutes of back-to-back, Italian hilarity, a "plomedy" so relatable that a non-Italian becomes parte della famiglia. Shut Up Sit Down & Eat is a must-see for those who seek comfort in the fact that no matter how strange your family may seem, there's always a more dysfunctional one out there!" Theatre is Easy.
