Carl and Phil decide that the ladder to success at the post office is missing a few rungs. They know that big money is waiting for people with entrepreneurial spirit and sound business judgment. They open a gourmet health food restaurant with much vim and vigor, but there is just one problem: they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Zippy's, a popular spot across town, has been crowded ever since Cy Manamalencia, a notorious mobster, was shot there. And that was over twenty years ago! What if someone could get murdered in their restaurant? Flaming Idiots is a classic farce filled with mistaken identity, profound confusion, slapstick antics, and a lot of door slamming. The piece won the 1992 New American Comedy Festival Award.
