Follows Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams as they navigate their way through the cutthroat world of New York's comedy clubs, each working toward the ultimate goal of an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. For Seinfeld, hitting the clubs is a way of proving himself after his years of sitcom success; for the up-and-coming Adams, nightly stand-up routines are an avenue to bigger and better things, preferably comedy festivals, talk show appearances, and sitcom roles. The two occasionally cross paths where they debate ups and downs of the trade.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Underwhelming submitted by emjane on June 20, 2012, 11:35pm As a fan of both the jokes of stand-up comedy and the lifestyle behind it, this documentary is fairly disappointing. The pace is uneven-- Orny Adams is insufferable, but when he disappears from the last third of the movie, it felt like something was missing.

2010's "I am Comedy" is a much better rounded look at the stand-up career (and it's funnier, too).
