Napa Valley Playhouse presents the World Premiere of “The Complete History of Comedy (abridged),” written and directed by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor, creators of “The Complete History of America (abridged),” “The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)” and other “Complete (abridged)” stage classics.

It’s laugh-out-loud funny when these comic guerillas play out the complete history of comedy from Cavemen and Commedia to Chris Rock, including tributes to everyone’s favorite iconic comedians of stage and screen. Bay Area favorites Dodds Delzell, Dan Saski and Chad Yarish serve as your “Professors of Phunny.”
