STARTING TONIGHT: Problem Child

“Comedies about things that aren’t funny” is the theme of B. Someday Productions’ 2012-13 season at the Walking Fish Theatre, and their third installment, from Canadian master of angst-ridden comedy George F. Walker’s Suburban Motel series, fits perfectly. Like last spring’s repertory of The End of Civilization and Featuring Loretta, Problem Child takes place in a seedy motel room, and is dark, dirty, dangerous — and funny. In Problem Child, Denise (Gina Martino, fascinating in the first two plays) and RJ (Matt Shell IV) want to clean up their drug-ravaged lives and reclaim their daughter, taken by Social Services, but mayhem ensues.

Through Nov. 17, $20, Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Ave., 215-427-9255, walkingfishtheatre.com.
