The shy, anxious jokewriter for a famous comedian accidentally crashes into the standup spotlight and decides to stay. Equipped with blind panic, paralysing fear and jokes the comedian didn’t buy, he sets out to prove who’s really the funny one, and the rest, as they say, is history (except history is normally written by the winners). Experience the vicarious thrill of telling jokes on stage to 10's, 100's even 1000's of people and then back to 10's again without the sleepless nights and crippling self-doubt in this regrettably true story of fragile egos, low impulse control, and the best worst comedy gig of all time.
