New film on Motor City comedy scene

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on August 23rd, 2007

John Monoghan, writing for the Detroit Free Press, tells of a movie about the Detroit comedy scene, “Be Funny.”

Though a dozen Detroit-area comics are featured, the movie spends much of its time with (Mike) Green, who is seen in hilarious bits on stage and also at home on the phone trying to line up gigs in a tough economy.

The film premieres at 7 PM Sunday at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle.
