Side Effects May Include

"Side Effects May Include" is a funny, touching one-man show about early-onset Parkinson's disease. Phil is living a relatively happily married life - his only complaint? Wife Maggie's waning sex drive. It provides fodder for his stand-up act until she is diagnosed with Parkinson's and then life gets better. At least their sex life. Based on a true story, this one-man show explores how sometimes it's not the disease that changes you, but the side effects...

"Side Effects May Include" is a hysterical roller-coaster ride through an escalating mountain of pills, fidelity, secrets, questions of manhood and womanhood, age, desire, more pills, on-stage and bedroom performance anxiety, still yet more pills, and ultimately, an exploration of whether our deepest personalities and desires are anything more than chemical reactions within our brains.

10% of all proceeds will be charitably gifted to Shaking With Laughter, a Foundation established by Marc and Karen Jaffe in support of the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
