Synopsis
Will is stuck in a thankless job while trying to pursue his true passion in life — becoming a stand-up comic. When he gets the opportunity he’s been waiting for, an emcee slot on the road opening for his hero, the realities of life on the stage come to light. Between relentless hecklers, drunken groupies and hard-to-impress DJs, things get off to a rough start. Even if he can learn from his idols and overcome the challenges, he'll have to prove he has what it takes to make his dream a reality.
