Watch Jokes & Their Relation to the Unconscious - A Comedy to End All Comedy

"Recommended." - Library Journal. "One of the most inventive pieces the company has produced ... it's all hilarious." - Chicago Tribune Chicago's Neo-Futurists, aided by fellow assassins Sigmund Freud and Uncle Miltie, attempt to kill comedy by explaining why it's funny - which only makes it funnier. "An intelligent examination of what makes people laugh and one that actually makes people laugh." Apollo Movie Guide. Join The Neo-Futurists, one of Chicago's most daring and inventive stage companies, as they pick the lock on your brain's humor vault. And attempt to render comedy unfunny... by explaining why it's funny. Which, of course, only makes it funnier. And even funnier. By discussing and demonstrating, disemboweling and dissecting, theories of humor from Freud to Berle, The Neo-Futurists aim to put the final nail in the coffin of comedy, drive a stake into the heart of humor, lay funny out on a board and administer its last rites. Masterful and moronic, scholarly and scatological, learned and loutish, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious will raise your consciousness and lower your brow. Sex, farts, profanity - Greg Allen's scalpel lances each of these boils on the bottom of comedy.
