If you’ve ever been in love, ever had sex, ever been miserable, or maybe all three at the same time (!), then you won’t want to miss the world premiere of “Love, Sex, and Misery.” From the author of the international comedy stage hit, “It’s Just Sex,” comes a collection of 8 short plays about the highs and lows of relationships, including such rollicking pieces as “The Bullshit Detector,” “The Invention of Marriage,” and “Life on Mars,” brought to life by a cast of over 20 performers!
For twenty-five years, playwright Jeff Gould has been making audiences internationally laugh and laugh with his explorations into the territories of love, sex, and marriage in his full-length plays such as “Troubled Waters,” “It’s Just Sex,” “The Marriage Zone,” “Is There Sex After Marriage?,” and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce.” However, his new show, “Love, Sex, and Misery,” marks a departure in format: Eight distinct stories are told in a collection of eight interconnected theater pieces, all packed into a compact eighty-five minutes. The show is being produced by the SkyPilot Theatre Company.
Excitingly, Jeff has teamed up with his son, Jake, who has co-written three of the stories in the play. Jake and his Dad have become popular social media stars, known as @JakesFunny, with an audience of over 2.5 million followers. Their content revolves around pranking each other, and Jake has gone viral for pulling stunts that would make any father proud, such as plastering Jeff’s face on one of the largest billboards in Los Angeles for a fake advertisement about erectile dysfunction. But now, after fulfilling Jeff’s lifelong dream of becoming famous, Jake has decided to team up with his Dad to bring their hilarious dynamic to the stage.
The cast of “Love, Sex, and Misery” includes Briana Wagner, Jason Pierce, Jean Fiumara, Ian Nemser, Anthony Backman, Jake Gould, Tim Trobec, Adam Fox, Tina Walsch, Piper Major, Kriss Dozal, Domenick DiDiane, Amye Partain, Olivia Spirz, Marco Parra, Auri Brown, Alexander Hall, Ashley Alva, Shelby Janes, Corbin Timbrook, Chuck Lacey, Ari Litman-Weinberg, and Karen Brundage.
With the stage manager and sound design by Stephen Juhl, and lighting design by Selena Price, the show promises to be a visually stunning and entertaining experience.
“Love, Sex, and Misery” will be running at the 905 Cole Ave Theater in Hollywood from October 21st to December 10th. Showtimes are scheduled for Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 3PM, with a dark period on Thanksgiving weekend.
