Ed is at a crossroads in his life. His unrewarding job is getting more frustrating and his career as a stand-up is not taking off. In fact, he’s starting to acknowledge he might not be a very good comedian. His love life begins to look promising when he meets artist Nathan, a gorgeous younger man. Yet Ed’s feelings are conflicted when he is drawn to his female flatmate. The Comedian is a funny and touching, presenting characters who are recognizable and real.
