Late Night Comic was a short-lived stage musical written by playwright Allan Knee and composer/lyricist Brian Gari, which ran for 17 performances on Broadway in 1987. ==Origins== In 1976, singer-songwriter Brian Gari wrote a song entitled “Dance”, inspired by a five-year relationship that he had with a ballet dancer.〔Gari, Brian. Sleeve notes to Original Cast LP ''Late Nite Comic''. OC8843 (1988)〕 As he later told a journalist: “'she left dancing, married someone else, had a kid and lives in Forest Hills - but I haven't gotten her out of my heart".〔Klein, Alvin. 'A comic's dream plays on Broadway, ''New York Times'', October 11, 1987.〕 Two years later, Gari came up with the idea of developing the theme into a semi-autobiographical stage musical, concentrating on the relationship between a songwriter, a ballet dancer, and a struggling stand-up comedian who was the songwriter's best friend. Gari wrote the entire first act himself, but the project languished until 1984, when he met an agent who liked the songs and introduced him to playwright Allan Knee as a potential collaborator.〔 Within two years, the show had been substantially re-written, and now concentrated on the relationship between a stand-up comic and a dancer. Gari's score incorporated several songs that he had composed many years earlier, including one entitled 'The best in the business', which he had written (about the subject of music publishers) as far back as 1972. The title song, 'Late Nite Comic', had been written in 1977 for an actual stand-up comic, Larry Cobb, whom Gari knew when they both performed at New York's Comic Strip in the late 1970s.〔
