Barry Crimmins is pissed. His hellfire brand of comedy has rained verbal lightning bolts on American audiences and politicians for decades, yet youve probably never heard of him. But once youve experienced Bobcat Goldthwaits brilliant character portrait of him and heard Crimminss secret, you will never forget him. From his unmistakable bullish frame came a scathingly ribald stand-up style that took early audiences by force. Through stark, smart observation and judo-like turns of phrase, Crimminss rapid-fire comedy was a war on ignorance and complacency in 80s America at the height of an ill-considered foreign policy. Crimmins discusses another side of his character, revealing in detail a dark and painful past that inspired his life-changing campaign of activism in the hope of saving others from a similar experience. Interviews with comics like Margaret Cho and Marc Maron illustrate Crimminss love affair with comedy and his role in discovering and supporting the development of many of todays stars. As a venerated member of Americas comic community, Crimmins could be your newest national treasure. Just dont tell him that.

Lenny Freeman is a straight-laced old-school accountant with a dream; to become a famous stand-up comedian. The problem is hes not very funny. Not even close. When his mother dies, leaving him nothing but debt and her 53 Oldsmobile, Lenny hits the road to chase his dream in Vegas and auditioning for Monte Guys annual Stand-Up Stand-Off. Along the way (and against his better judgment) Lenny picks up a mysterious traveler named Hitch and his trip quickly turns from bad to worse when they stop at a small-town bar. Lenny jumps on stage as a warm-up act, but a run-in with a heckler leads to murder. Now with a dead body in his trunk, Lenny and Hitch are on the run. As the body count piles up, Lenny tries to free himself from his psychotic sidekick and escape to Vegas with the girl of his dreams. But Hitch wont shake so easily. Theyve got a contract. And the devil is in the details...literally. Not to mention the fact that all this blood and mayhem is having a strange side-effect on Lenny. It is actually improving his comedy.
