    Where to Watch

Trials and tribulations of would-be comics at a club. Miles Chapin, Tracy Bregman, Eileen Brennan. Philly: Jack Carter. Stephen: Peter Aykroyd. Bruce: Mike MacDonald. Larry: Howie Mandel. Directed by Ron Clark.

Long before Tom Hanks and Sally Field served up their one-liners in PUNCHLINE, this Canadian production offered a different view of the life of the stand-up comedian. Miles Chapin is a comedian who travels to California from the Midwest to perform his routine, while Eileen Brennan turns in a staunch performance as the owner of a comedy club.
