About this listen
“Two comics walk into a relationship....”
Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all, "The Laugh".
Playwright Philip Dawkins was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop The Comedians.
Directed by Nick Borenstein

The voice actors were so good, the characters felt so real.
I highly recommend going into it with an open mind and ready to be sad.
It's a bit open ended. Things could have turned good or bad for the characters after the curtain drops, we really don't know, but it's a perfect ending, in my opinion.
Extraordinarily well-written and performed

Wouldn’t talk to him if I saw him. I’m gay but find him offensively leftist stupid
