“Stand-up comedian Frank Patton had nothing,” according to press notes. “After seeing his modest career tank, he starts a podcast that becomes a cult hit and the standard bearer for all stand ups. Lance Banks seemingly had everything — an iconic figure in stand-up who transitioned into a huge film career. But when the movies start tanking, Lance has only one option — return to the stage to reinvigorate his fan base. There is just one problem — did Lance steal jokes to get where he is? If he wants to go on back on tour and save his career, he’ll need to address these allegations. And there’s only one place that he can do it — Frank Patton’s podcast.”
