Damian Callinan (dual Barry Award nominee, skitHOUSE, 774 ABC) takes you backstage to meet Dave Berry - a nine year veteran of the try-out comedy circuit. When a documentary about him airs, he becomes an overnight cult figure - but what is everyone laughing at?
Dave has tried everything to get a laugh - prop jokes, musical parody, characters - he even tried unsuccessfully to put on weight to do fat jokes. Ultimately, he's just not funny. On the cusp of giving up his dream, the documentary throws him a lifeline. Suddenly everyone wants to see the guy who is so bad he's good...but will it last?
A renowned stand-up and character comedian, Damian brings to life the players in Dave's rise and fall in this vivisection of the world of comedy.
