All Out: Comedy About Ambition

All Out: Comedy About Ambition is an anthology theatrical experience that brings Simon Rich's sharp, observational short stories to vivid life on stage. Performed as live readings by a rotating ensemble cast, the production explores the darker impulses that drive human ambition through interconnected vignettes that dissect ego, envy, greed, and spite. Rich's incisive comedy examines how the blind pursuit of fame and fortune shapes contemporary life, particularly among New Yorkers navigating competitive personal and professional landscapes. With original music by the soul-pop band Lawrence underscoring the narrative, the production balances laugh-out-loud humor with genuine insight into the human condition. Directed by Tony Award-winner Alex Timbers, All Out serves as a companion piece to Rich's earlier Broadway success All In: Comedy About Love, offering audiences a darkly comic mirror to their own ambitions and desires.
