The Show-Off is a 1924 stage play by George Kelly about a working-class North Philadelphian family's reluctance to accept their daughter's suitor Aubrey Piper, an overly confident Socialist buffoon.

"[3] Kelly envisioned the play as a "transcript of life," and critics praised his naturalistic dialogue, with Robert Benchley writing, "The way in which every-day small talk and idioms are strung together, with scarcely a wisecrack or a gag-line to lend artificial brilliance, is just about as smooth a piece of work as we ever remember seeing.

Lee Tracy, who had appeared in the original Broadway production, returned to the play in the role of Aubrey Piper, and the cast also featured Jane Seymour as Mrs. Fisher.

Playing in repertory with stagings of Exit the King, The Cherry Orchard, and Pantagleize, the production featured Clayton Corzatte as Aubrey Piper and Helen Hayes as Mrs. Fisher.

The most recent Broadway revival of The Show-Off was produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company and opened at Criterion Center Stage Right on November 5, 1992, closing on December 13, 1992 after 45 performances.

[11][12] In 1926, Famous Players–Lasky adapted The Show-Off into a silent movie of the same name starring Ford Sterling, Lois Wilson, and Louise Brooks; the film was shot in New York City and Philadelphia.
