Synopsis
No good joke goes unpunished
Stand-up comedy is a gamble and good material is a comedian's currency. To knowingly steal another comedian's material is the ultimate sin - even greater than murder.
Andy knows all this. He's been in the comedy business since the golden era of the eighties, but while his former best pal and fellow comic plays to sold-out arenas, Andy is still performing in back rooms of 'superior standard pubs and upmarket social clubs'.
All this time Andy has been eaten up by envy, various grudges and an overwhelming desire for revenge on the friend who did the dirty on him and 'built his career on the back of my talents'.
Never accepting it's too late to realise his dreams or extricate himself from the criminal world he reluctantly became involved with, an unexpected career opportunity presents itself that could finally see him hit the big time - but it will mean direct competition with his nemesis.
So... are you ready for your headline act?
