Overview

Follow comedian Gabriel Rutledge on an occasionally-uncomfortable, always-funny look at the life of a modern road comic as he continues his climb toward the middle of the pack. Equal parts incisive and intimate, Rutledge relates-in hilarious detail-the challenges and struggles of raising a family and pursuing a comedy career, all while battling the horrors of the comedy condo, the slow death of performing to a captive nursing home audience, and the nightmare of air travel with a fellow comedian who just can't pick up on social cues. With his customary wit and searing honesty, Rutledge-2004 winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition-pulls back the curtain on his life, his family, his art, and probably more about his bathroom habits than he should. Sometimes laughter hurts, but then again, happiness isn't funny.
