Caroline can\'t find anything funny -- not her awkward love life, not her jaded standup coach Guy, and definitely not the punchlines she\'s been reading in\\xa0101 Dirty Jokes.\\xa0

Originally produced at the Humana Festival at the Actors Theater of Louisville, Patricia Cotter\'s\\xa0RULES OF COMEDY\\xa0is a playful, wry look at the lives of comedians when they dare to go offstage and off script. Directed by Jonathan Bernstein, Cotter\'s short comedy stars Louisa Krause (The Flick, Billions,\\xa0PoA\'s\\xa0Winter Games)\\xa0and Michael Esper (Trust, The Last Ship,\\xa0PoA\'s\\xa0Anniversary).\\xa0After the play, stay tuned for an artist interview about the playwright\'s background in comedy, avoiding the pull towards bitterness, and toeing the line with your material.\\xa0

"Cotter\'s script is lush with the knowledge of standup comedy... this play is a scream" - Todd Zeigler,\\xa0Broadway World Reviews
