Stand-Up or Die

Originally part of the UK alternative comedy scene, Andy de la Tour spent many years on the circuit, performing with the likes of Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle and French and Saunders. After a 20-year break from stand-up he returned to New York City, the genres spiritual home, to start all over again in the back-rooms and dive bars of the Big Apple. This is one mans journey through New Yorks underground comedy scene. From Rubber Bullets in lower Manhattan to the Hot Tub in Brooklyn, Andy takes the stand. Can he make them laugh? Will New Yorkers stomach his outsiders take on Obama, the Tea Party and 9/11? Andys a long way from home and dying is not an option.
