Crying With Laughter (DVD)

Independent black comedy about a stand up comic whose life takes an unexpected twist. Although his professional life is on the up, Scottish comedian Joey Fisk (Stephen McCole)'s home life is not looking so rosy, with his drink and drug habits starting to cause rifts within his family. One day while taking a sauna he meets an old friend, Frank (Malcolm Shields), from his younger days when they were both in borstal. After offending Frank by joking about their reunion at one of his gigs, Joey takes Frank out for a night on the town, resulting in Joey being evicted by his landlord for threatening behaviour. With nowhere to go, Joey accepts Frank's offer of a place to stay, but soon finds himself involved in some very illegal activity...
