Details
Written by James E. Carter...I Got the Last laugh celebrates the life and struggles of the groundbreaking comedian Jackie "Moms" Mabley. When journalist Charles Earthstein ventures in to the heart of Harlem's legendary Apollo theatre he is granted a rare opportunity to sit down with the Funniest Woman in the World. Through an imaginative blend of storytelling and performance flashbacks, audiences will journey through Moms Mabley's life - from her humble beginnings in 1884 to her rise as America's first female standup comic, breaking barriers and bringing laughter to millions. This semi-autobiographical play highlights her dreams, betrayals, and the resilience that made her a legend.
