Is this a comedy special? Is it a spoof of some kind? Does this have anything to do with the COVID pandemic? Is this a story of a mediocre, struggling, middle-aged comedian losing faith in the comedy industry and coming to grips with his inability to adapt to the changing society that rewards self-righteous, narcissistic attention seekers with their short attention spans and hubristic tendencies? Is it a story of a man holding onto a place in time where he knew what he was doing and why he was doing it? Is this the last stand of a desperate comedian trying to go it alone without the industry he once thought would save him? Who knows...
Essential Comedian the movie (not a comedy special)
