Waiting for Waiting for Godot at Club Cafe

On every level, the phrase "absurdly funny" aptly describes Waiting for Waiting for Godot, the festival favorite receiving its local premiere at Club Cafe. Leave it to Dave Hanson, a whip-smart comedian and former joke writer for Late Night with Chelsea Handler, to craft a brilliant backstage comedy about two understudies waiting to perform Samuel Beckett's modern classic Waiting for Godot. Far more than an (insanely) clever concept, Waiting ... deftly incorporates illuminating insights and knockout punchlines even as it shadows the developments of Beckett's famous work. Winner of overall "Best of the Fringe" at the New York Fringe Festival -- and praised by The New York Times as "delectable" -- Waiting for Waiting for Godot now comes to Boston.
