100 Nights with Strangling Jack

The first night is a bomb. He forgets the material, gets heckled, veritably dies on stage. But Jack does a show the very next night. And the next night. And the next night. People actually laugh. And the game is on. This is a show about the ups and downs of the comedy world from the perspective of an up and coming comic on a mission to complete 100 nights of stand up comedy. The show follows the full roller coaster: the bombs, the kills, the anguish, the high. It's all in there. Jack goes through each of the shows in as much detail as is necessary. The progression is broken up by episode-themed topics like "The Process" or "The Callback" ...or "the Rule of Three." Jack teaches you what he knows about comedy and talks to working comics to get their take on the subject of the day. He shares the lessons he learns on the road by reading the crowd and watching and talking to other comics, and interviewing venue owners to get their take on this strange business. And finally, you get to see the life a comedian lives - Being broke, struggling, and chasing the dream.

The Big C

4 Seasons
Cathy Jamison is a suburban Minneapolis high school teacher, wife and mother with less than a perfect life, despite it perhaps seeming so to much of the outside world. Her life is given a major shock when she is diagnosed with melanoma, the first news of such to her being when it is at advanced stage IV, meaning that she will most likely succumb to it within short order barring some extreme or radical intervention. Cathy goes through a myriad of emotions concerning the diagnosis, including how she will deal with it in relation to family, friends and people close to her in other ways. These people include: Paul Jamison, her college sweetheart husband, who is often just another big kid in their relationship, while Cathy has acted the responsible adult; Adam Jamison, Cathy and Paul's teenaged son who is going through typical issues of being a teenager and only child; Sean Tolkey, Cathy's hyper-environmental anti-establishment brother, who chooses to be homeless to live off the grid and who abhors what he sees as Cathy's bourgeois suburban lifestyle; her students, such as Andrea Jackson, who openly stands her ground on any issue, including her weight problem and her African-American background; and her elderly seemingly crotchety female long-time neighbor, who Cathy has not made the effort to know despite their close proximity for years.
