Directed by Andrew Rogow, this hilarious one-man show follows Steve's struggles (played by Peter Fogel) to get home for the holidays. While trapped in the airport, Steve goes through the hilarious craziness of dealing with the bureaucracy and the challenges in handling hysterical phone calls from his family.

In a wonderfully funny performance, Fogel tackles the holidays, his adolescence, mixed marriage, ex-wives, dogs, cats, dieting and dozens of other uproarious and endless relatable situations each performed with dialects and wacky sound effects that only add to the hilarity of each story.

And then there's the holiday dinner at Grandma's where, if you're under 55, you're allowed to sit at the children's table and 35 over-fed people share one bathroom with no plunger.
