Getting people off & other legal fantasies.
IT’S CRIMINAL recounts Meyer’s courtroom adventures with needy, sometimes dangerous clients, loony judges, sexy DA’s, and even his own neuroses. A workshop performance of the play was chosen 2008 Hoopla Pick in the LA Weekly, which said, “More lawyers should do one-person shows.” Meyer’s July performance at Santa Monica Playhouse played to a sold-out crowd.
“This is my take on the daily menu of mishegas (craziness) I encounter in my job,†says Meyer, who has more than twenty years experience as a criminal lawyer. Meyer developed his material at the Un-Cab Lab comedy workshop run by Un-Cabaret creators Beth Lapides & Greg Miller.
