evenings. He out of money and he
doesn’t have enough time to study for his classes. He does his act at the Gas Station, a New York comedy club. Everyone is working for low wages but
hoping for a big break. Lilah
Krytsick is a housewife but she wants to do stand-up. Steven notices her and he starts to
help her with her act. A TV
station comes to the club and Steven remembers he needs to think only about his
success.
I
could not get interested in this film.
It’s just one joke after another but it gets old and not funny
quickly. It’s dated and I can’t
say anything good about it? 2* (I
didn’t like this movie)
