“Take a risk. See this show”
Broadway Baby
This is a comedy show about risk, for people unsatisfied with how things are going, by multi award nominated comedian Alexander Bennett. For it to work, he needs his audiences to be honest.
Comedy audiences are normally pretty honest. If they find something funny, they laugh. If they don’t, they don’t. They also respond well to honesty – it helps build the relationship between a performer and the audience. In Emotional Daredevil, Alexander is seeing how far he can push that by inviting his audience to collaborate with him in a unique and unexpected way.
Alexander is taking a big risk every time he performs this show. Will his audiences do the same?
