Summary:

It is a candid look inside the agony and ecstasy of making people laugh for a living. A stand-up comedian must be the writer, the director, and the star performer. There is no rehearsal, no practice, and no safety net when they are in front of a live audience. For most people, baring their soul on stage and having an audience "boo" at them would become a life-long trauma, but for stand-up comedians, it's a nightly challenge.
