Will Arnett portrays Alex Novak, a man facing a marriage in crisis with his wife Tess, played by Laura Dern. The story follows Alex as he discovers stand-up comedy amid personal upheaval. The film draws inspiration from British comedian John Bishop's anecdote about signing up for stand-up to avoid a bar cover charge. Tess experiences the feeling of being stuck in an unplanned life and recognizes a need for change. Bradley Cooper frames the film around characters reckoning with identity, goals, curiosities, relationships, and the new communities they form. The film is currently in theaters. The Walt Disney Company owns Searchlight Pictures and the ABC station.
