Roof

by Lucas Myers

A Pilotcopilot Theatre Production

Come and enjoy a one-man show certain to raise the roof! Weaving together elements of stand-up comedy, physical theatre, and Lucas Myers’ trademark observational humour, this show will make you laugh and think. The star of the show is Dave, a highly successful real estate agent who is living the dream: hot car, smart kids, beautiful wife, unbelievable sound system, designer kitchen, and steam shower. Just as he is launching his self-improvement video series, #HiMyNameIsDave, he discovers major issues with his roof and cracks begin to form in his perfect world. Enter Stevie, a journeyman roofer with standup comedy aspirations, and the only person capable of dealing with Dave. As they collaborate on fixing the roof, Stevie forces Dave to confront his shortcomings and come to terms with what being a good person really means. Audience Advisory: strong language and mature themes.
