Through unprecedented backstage access and candid interviews, the film weaves through the absurd world of the working comedian and reveals a crazy and hilarious psychological profile of its practitioners. We also follow retired comic Ritch Shydner's attempt to climb back on stage after a thirteen-year hiatus. At the top of his game in the 1980's, Shydner had HBO specials, shot five pilot TV shows, and numerous late night appearances (Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc.) but the big time eluded him. Equipped with the collective wisdom and nutty musings of over 80 of his peers, he gives it another shot. Does Ritch have what it takes to connect with today's young crowds and still get the laughs?

Scottrick "Scott" Aukerman, born with an innate gift for turning the mundane into madness, entered the world on July 2nd, 1970, armed with a knack for comedy that could tickle a stone-faced statue. As a comedian, writer, and producer, he's mastered the art of turning awkward moments into uproarious tales that leave stomachs sore from laughter.

His shows are a delightful rollercoaster ride through the absurd, complete with hilarious characters and offbeat humour that's a sanctuary for the eccentric and a refuge for the wonderfully weird.
Scott Aukerman, the comedic maestro with a penchant for the peculiar, continues to captivate audiences with his infectious humour, proving that in this crazy world, laughter truly is the best medicine—preferably taken in large doses, delivered by a master jokester like Scott.
