“Don’t Break Your Egg,” the one-woman show by Christine Fall, takes inspiration from Spalding Gray, right down to the set-up of delivering the whole monologue while seated at a small rectangular table with a glass of water and notes as the only other props.

Fall uses a conceit of not knowing what to write about for the show, operating on the premise of “If they come, I will build it.” This eventually leads her to some of the types of incidents Gray would talk about in his one-man shows, like eye injuries in the film “Gray’s Anatomy.”

Fall’s show is billed as a work in progress, and the stories she has to tell are funny -- in some cases as weird and odd as some of Gray’s, and in others such as amusing anecdotes about her mom, reminiscent of the family memories found in recent big one-person Broadway shows by Billy Crystal and Mario Cantone.

However, Fall could do well to dispense with the writer’s block framing device she relies on and instead build on the stories themselves that are the meat of the piece -- and add more of them. After all, as she cops to her age during the show, Fall explains there is very little left that she can honestly claim to be too young to do, except for perhaps getting a mammogram. “Anything I want to do I should be doing already,” she says. And Spalding Gray, rest in peace, never wasted any time cutting to the chase in his work.

Christine Fall performs “Don’t Break Your Egg: A New Comedy About Keeping It Together” again at 6 p.m. Friday, July 29 and 1 p.m. Saturday, August 6 at Where Eagles Dare Theatre, 347 W. 36^th St. The show is paired with “When Silence Explodes: Fetus” by Rada Angelova.
