Are we above passing judgement on a movie we haven’t even seen? Certainly not! This quote might tell you all you need to know:
“Comedy is painful,” Parr said. “People think a comedian’s life is all smiles, but it can hurt– especially when people aren’t laughing at your best stuff.”
When “people aren’t laughing at your best stuff,” the reaction usually isn’t boo-hoo, it’s “What the fuck was that all about?!” We think it’s safe to say that self-pity is not one of the things that comedians are noted for.
Former comedian (now air personality) Russ Parr wrote a film ten years ago whose characters (standup comics) “deal with drugs, death and the hardships of watching other performers steal their material.” Warner Bros. has picked it up.
