Additional Project Info
Shot as a mockumentary, but it is scripted. Think The Office meets Friends meets a group of misfit comedians and a show reminiscent of coming up in comedy. ~ Big-time comedian, Amy Schumer, after canning her career due to her alcoholism, gets drunk at a gay gogo bar in Belmont Shore, Long Beach and buys the establishment in her drunken stupor. She uses it as a place where local comedians can also come and do stand up. Word travels, and a reality show about their journey is picked up by Netflix.
