Overview

A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks.

Feb 1, 2025

It is a question here of deploying all the humor inherent in the act of having a first child at the age of forty-five...

A vibrant soliloquy on life and the art of living it.
