Al Ducharme

Une jeune infirmiere de nuit, Erin, vient d'etre quittee par son petit ami. Sa mere, bien intentionnee mais envahissante, passe une petite annonce. Sa fille, consternee, lui repond qu'avant de chercher un compagnon, elle cherche a se retrouver elle-meme. Mais lorsque les messages s'accumulent sur son repondeur, la curiosite l'emporte. Alan qui vit de l'autre cote de la ville est un ancien plombier qui fait du volontariat a l'aquarium municipal. Il essaie, lui aussi, de donner une nouvelle orientation a sa vie.

Gotham Comedy Club, a popular comedy venue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, is the setting of an hourlong series that is shot in front of an audience at the club. Each episode features routines by several comics -- a list that has included such names as David Alan Grier, Gilbert Gottfried and Artie Lange -- in what the network says is an unedited and uncensored format. In addition to the big names of the field who take the Gotham stage, the show also features up-and-comers who want to make a name for themselves in the stand-up comedy business.

Some say laughter is the best medicine. It’s true. Standup comedy has been known to cure everything from bad moods and frowns to fits of pouting. So for those who need a heavy dose of hilarity, try a spoonful of “Comedy.TV.” With no traffic jams, parking debacles, or two-drink minimums of the local comedy clubs, the most clever comedians jump onstage for a full-fledged funny fest.
