Ben Stiller: Not just funny in movies

The girl grabbed us tickets to a show she thought I might like starring Ben Stiller. He has pretty much been in every single decent comedy for the past decade and a half so we were quite interested to see how his acting translated onto the stage. The play was entitled “House of the blue leaves” and also starred Edie Falco (mother in the Sopranos who I disliked for that very reason).

As it turned out the play was a tongue in cheek comedy where Ben Stiller portrayed the main character quite well. My biggest surprise however was Edie Falco who played some deranged wife, on the edge of insanity, rather convincingly.
We realised one of the perks of living in NYC was the two block walk to the theatre. Dinner was at a steakhouse on the way home so our total journey time for the evening was around 5 minutes.
