Following rave reviews, it continues to be mounted in productions worldwide to nationwide critical and audience acclaim. His other plays include WASP, and the dark comedy The Underpants.

The recipient of numerous awards including the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor, Martin's incredibly wide-ranging and prolific career in standup comedy, film, television, music, books and art have made him one of the most beloved entertainers of our time.
