[edit] Plot Summary
The story revolves around bad stand-up comedy performances by Jim Gaffigan, Michael Rispoli and Victor Varnado. The unlikely band of comics travel to a comedy & poultry festival in the country to exercise their art. Later, a follow-up gives a summary of how everyone has progressed since appearing at the festival, with differing levels of success. On the commercially released DVD (approx 83mins running time) the outakes section runs in tandem with the credits for around 5 minutes.
This film is a mocumentary shot in black & white but struggles to sit within any conventionally defined genre.
