...development. With only one salaried actor and minimal sets and costumes (unless you are Dame Edna), those shows are cheaper to produce than full-scale plays. "You've got a lot less risk with a one-person show and pretty much the same opportunity to make money," says Jay Larkin, an executive producer at Showtime, responsible for Cantone's show, Laugh Whore. And since many of the shows are built around stars with a presold audience, they're easier to promote. "We've got to be realistic," says Hal Luftig, the lead producer of Whoopi.

Four years ago, a London-based, Palestine-born publisher named Naim Attallah sent an overheated love letter to his wife. "The fire in my soul still burns as brightly as the moment I first looked upon you," it said, going on to cite Socrates, God and Philip Larkin.

But during the U.S. Olympic Team Trials on Saturday, it was Larkin who got the upper edge, beating Frayer in the semifinals of the challenge bracket to end Frayer’s hopes of making the Olympic team...
After winning by technical fall over No. 7 Jeff Ratliff in the first round, Frayer faced Larkin who had taken his first match in the same manner. Frayer has faced Larkin several times since leaving college, and he noted his lack of aggressiveness in the beginning as a reason for his performance this time around. Larkin scored three one-point takedowns in the first period...
