The backstage world of stand-up comics isn’t so funny. Three comics, booked in a dilapidated comedy condo in Pittsburgh, reveal the world of comedy as a business, the pressures of making people laugh every night and the search for approval and self-worth that drives both comedians and their audiences. Performed by three real-life comedians–Mark Riccadonna, DJ Hazard and Richie Byrne–plus ensemble members Kara Jackson and Melissa Stokoski, directed by Mark Riccadonna.
