The Bijou Theatre will present the return of the original plomedy, Shut Up, Sit Down, & Eat! - the Only Cure for Italian Insanity, to the Bijou Main Stage tonight, November 29th at 8:00pm. Table seats are $35 and theatre seats are $25.
America's first "plomedy"! It combines the wit of stand-up comedy, the intensity of a one-man show and the format of an innovative Off-Broadway play. When a therapist fails to arrive on time for a group therapy session, four impatient Italian Americans take their issues into their own hands and invent a new type of therapy - Italian therapy! Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of laughter, insight and revelation. Come join us for a night of hilarious dysfunction - Italian style! Starring four outstanding seasoned New York Comedians: Tina Giorgi, Joe Moffa, Chris Monty and Eric Tartaglione.
