Crying With Laughter

Crying With Laughter

It's a crucial week for Edinburgh comic Joey Frisk (Stephen McCole) as a US talent scout is coming to check out his act.

But Joey is behind with his rent, struggling with drug addiction and barely able to help ex-wife Karen (Jo Hartley) look after their young daughter.

When his landlord threatens to evict him, Joey retaliates during his act, threatening to kill the man. Next day, Joey is arrested for GBH - his landlord is seriously injured and Joey has no memory of what happened.

He turns to Frank (Malcolm Shields), a former friend who has recently re-entered his life 25 years after they were at military school together.

Frank invites Joey into the home he shares with much younger girlfriend Colette (Micaiah Dring). But, as Joey finds out, friendship is the last thing on Frank's mind...

Starring: Stephen McCole, Micaiah Dring, Jo Hartley, Malcolm Shields

Crying With Laughter is released 16th April.
