Summary |
Its a tough life trying to make people laugh. It might be fun for some but utter misery for others it is a journey nonetheless into the unpredictable existence of the jobbing comedian. Struggling Brit comedian James Mullinger has come to a crossroads in his life no one wants to see him perform, his wife is fed up and his boss has given him an ultimatum - take a promotion and never do stand up again, or stick to the comedy and lose his job. When James is sent to L.A. to interview a bunch of comedians for his magazine, something tickles his funny bone once more, as he gains insight and spends time with his former heroes. A lively mix of comedy and pathos, based on the real-life experiences of James Mullinger, this movie also features respected comedians Alan Carr, Omid Djalili, Luenell, Gilbert Gottfried, Gina Yashere, Mike Wilmot, Mike Ward and the man James Mullinger himself. |
