About the Project
Creators Dana Schwartz and Justin Huen star in this 59 minute dark comedy about comedy
When the shine on Alex Rey’s career starts to tarnish, he decides to return to his stand-up roots. But he can’t tell if the laughs he’s getting are real – or just polite. Enter Naomi, a new comic with a quick wit and great impression of Alex. He hires her to test out his material since she isn’t afraid to bomb and he can’t afford to. As Alex wrestles with his fear of failure and Naomi fights to step out of his shadow and find her authentic voice, the two form an unlikely partnership— built on jokes, ego, and the uncomfortable truth behind the laughter.
