The Best Man Show is an interactive and darkly hilarious wedding reception where Mark Vigeant plays the Groom’s brother Paul, who has been asked to give the toast at an untraditional polyamorous commitment ceremony.
It starts out fun and silly, with your typical masculine roasting and ribbing – and gradually devolves into a drunken chaotic mess where Paul tries desperately to understand what it means to love, but can’t get over his own toxic masculinity to recognize how lonely he is.
Throughout the show, Mark recruits audience members to play various wedding guests: the groom Charles, his two brides Carrie and Paige; his daughter Ella who comes onstage to sing a song; his deeply upset and traumatized parents; his wife who he doesn’t get along with; and more!
