Point Park University alumnus Kevin James Doyle has been putting his comedic chops and New York knowledge to the test in his off-Broadway show “How 2B A New Yorker.” The show displays different scenarios an average New Yorker would encounter. Doyle, originally from Columbus, Ohio, moved to New York in 2008 after graduating with a degree in theater. Having to deal with expenses and learning how to navigate the subway system were huge adjustments for Doyle. “Obviously, it’s unlike any other city in the world,” said Doyle in a phone interview on Wednesday.His first job in New York was wearing sandwich boards for Broadway shows. He constantly thought about what was next for him.Doyle remembered how his love for history blossomed at school he credits history Professor Edward Meena for his heightened interest. He began studying the history of New York City to prepare for his next job as a licensed tour guide.  Now he is taking his experiences in New York and combining them with the city’s history to entertain people every Friday and Saturday in his off-Broadway show. The idea for the show came from one of the producers, Carolyn Rossi Copeland.“She said she wanted a show. She didn’t care what it was about, but the name would be ‘How 2B a New Yorker,’” Doyle said.Doyle’s co-writer and friend, Margaret Copeland, was born and raised in New York City. This is her first time working with Doyle and describes working with him as very interesting.“We have a brother and sister relationship. It can be super fun,” said Margaret Copeland in a phone interview on Friday.Although the name for the play was settled, writing the script did not come as easily for Doyle and Margaret Copeland.“Actually sitting down and writing was challenging,” Margaret Copeland said.Starting the process in January 2012, it took nine months to finally translate the ideas they both had down on paper.The experience was brand new to Doyle. While he performed in other shows before, this was his first time producing and writing. It was a challenging task for him to do all three in the beginning, but his doubts quickly faded.“Once I got on stage and heard people laughing, my instincts kicked in,” Doyle said.Out of the various characters Doyle and Margaret Copeland, who also co-stars in the show, plays Doyle’s favorite character is First Time Mugger. He tries to mug Margaret Copeland’s character, but he is so terrible at it that she ends up giving him lessons on how to become a better mugger.There may be a set script for “How 2B a New Yorker,” but Doyle and Copeland find ways to incorporate into the show what is currently happening in the city.“We want to change the show to keep it current – I want the show to keep up with us, not us keep up with the show,” Doyle said.One thing New York is known for is the subways that constantly run but could not for days because of Hurricane Sandy. To incorporate that event into the show, Doyle joked about how the subways run 24/7, unless there is a hurricane and received plenty of laughs from the audience.“How 2B a New Yorker” has been running since October, and Doyle loves the reaction he gets from the show. He can only describe what he wants people to take away from the show in the words of a fan compliment.“‘Wow, I think they covered every piece of New York City,’” Doyle said, quoting a fan.Doyle wants the show to run throughout 2013. He is still a tour guide and continues to do stand-up comedy as well. As far as plans to work on another show, he said he will hold off until inspiration strikes.“I need to get one good [idea]. Doyle said. “Until then, I’ll enjoy this while it lasts.”
