1812 Productions

Wow! Been to some good clubs but this was special. Niels Simons Laughter on the 23^rd Floor was funny but also serious. Casting was perfect. Comedic timing right on. A good time in an intimate setting made you feel like part of the production not just an observer. Going back to see Show of Shows next weekend. Price is reasonable. Have a cookie at intermission. Yum!
Get over to this place. You will not be disappointed.

1812 Productions is Philadelphia’s all comedy theatre company. That’s what they do, and from the show that I saw recently, I can say that they do it very well.
The show I saw (The Two of Us) was amazingly cast and the performances were phenomenal. Because this company specializes in comedy, they understand how to pick their actors and do the right shows to set the mood. Although, just because something is comedy doesn’t mean that it isn’t also serious. These shows are not just slap-​stick and slamming doors; they are able to find humor in life’s subtleties.
Tickets are affordable (under $ 30 for week days) and subscriptions are extremely affordable. Best of all, if you are student, there is an amazing student rush price. This is how it works, show up 5 minutes before curtain and if there are seats, you pay $ 5! That’s it! I believe that is the lowest rush price in Philadelphia for a production company of this caliber.
Seating is general admission.
