Rules Of Comedy, The

Synopsis:
the audience is given a side-splitting lesson in what's funny and what's not funny. In order to prove that the Rules of Comedy work, they are hilariously inserted into one of the most popular tragedies of all time: William Shakespeare'sHamlet. the Rules of Comedy is a physical comedy "blow-out" with an interesting twist that showcases the cast's ability to handle tragic Drama, as well. Playing by the rules has never been so much fun.
