What began as an outlet during the pandemic for two comedy veterans, who performed this topical comedy in backyards around Los Angeles, is now moving indoors for five performances at the Fringe before heading to New York in the fall. The play, written by Jay Martel, is about two lifelong friends whose relationship starts to unravel because of an impending installation of a speed bump on their street. It’s an adult coming-of-age story about the literal and figurative barriers that currently divide our neighborhoods, our city, and our country. Is the safety of the community more important than the freedom of the individual? Who's more self-involved: People who have kids, or people who don't? And: Is an adult who collects vintage toys really sad or really cool? Speed Bump is an illuminating look at both sides of all these contentious questions, and no matter where you stand, the conclusion will surprise you.

Performed by:

Jay Martel - Emmy®, Peabody®, WGA®, and American Comedy Award winner for his work writing and producing for television, stage, and film. Regular contributor to The New Yorker.

John Lehr - Veteran comedic performer, writer and producer working in television, film, and theater. The original Geico caveman.
