HA! THE MUSICAL is a musical-comedy hybrid exploring
the good, the bad, the ugly and well...the funny of standup comedians. Exploring the menagerie of personalities and comedic archetypes, "HA!" guides us through the world of a stand-up and goes behind the curtain and beyond the spotlight into the subconscious id of what makes these eccentric, off-center, and at times even tortured, brilliant minds tick.
Take the journey with us to find out...
what exactly IS funny, anyway?
