The dreary realities faced by struggling stand-up comedians provides the basis of this sometimes funny drama. The story centers on three comics who are hired by promoter Doug Atkin to do a brief tour of college campuses and a few redneck bars. snooty Andy Miller is used to headlining gigs in San Francisco. Divorced mother and rookie comic Charlie McKnight and the rude-crude emcee Brock Mason are his traveling companions. Suffering the worst possible accommodations, wretched food, hostile crowds, penurious club owners, and in-fighting caused by a brief affair between Charlie and Andy coupled with Brock's constant drinking and womanizing the trip becomes a nightmarish endurance contest. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
