Joe Keegan (Schwaba) is the 'Rocky' of stand-up comedy. A fifteen year comedy veteran who was pegged for stardom early on in his career, he has blown every major audition he has ever had in legendary fashion. Now, all that stand between Joe Keegan and "The Tonight Show" is the Godfather of Green Bay (Goldwyn), a former high school football star turned drug dealer.

Critic Reviews

50	Chicago Tribune Though the movie is pretty stereotypical and sometimes crude, it also has a sweet laid-back temper. It has amusing moments.
30	Chicago Reader Schwaba's uncertainty as a director is underlined by the almost arbitrary jump cuts, freeze-frames, and sped-up action.
