A big hand for David
By CLAIRE CARASKA, ANGELA CARONE, MAUREEN CAVANAUGH
When the great Shakespearean actor Edmund Kean was near death, he was asked how he felt. Legend has it the elderly actor looked up, and said, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.”
This weekend, San Diegans can hear from a man who’s spent his career in all aspects of comedy, from stand-up to sitcoms, both in front of the camera and behind. Celebrated comedian and director David Steinberg will share his personal stories and reflect on the difficulty and delight of making people laugh in a new one-man show at the La Jolla Playhouse.
The workshop production, “David Steinberg: That Could Turn Into Something Big…or Not,” will be performed for six nights only beginning tomorrow.
