Once Upon A Wall Street

Once Upon a Wall Street isn't your typical 9 to 5 show. Starring Jerry Topitzer, this is the funniest investment show about trial and error, and is genuinely entertaining with an appeal to the masses.

Topitzer is a well-rounded comedian and actor who knows how to tell a story in the most meaningful and fulfilling way possible. Coming from nothing, Topitzer’s riveting quest for power and wealth becomes a double-edged sword in regards to his morals and standards. It is a story that hits home and creates a realistic setting on the stage. Topitzer does what he needs to do and becomes everyone's personal banker for the rest of the run, talking about what it means to be at a certain stage of life. With issues of love, life, and liberty in question, Topitzer's story of rising to the top makes people feel rage in their bones in the best way possible. He is a true character.

The jokes landed well; I laughed during many moments of the show, thought about the comedy, and then proceeded to laugh internally. Wordplay and situational comedy were at the forefront—the very things that made the show what it was! Clearly, someone with this much energy should run Wall Street. If you love Saturday Night Live, this is clearly your cup of tea, and you should be sitting in the audience during the next show.
