Honest -- at times painfully so -- and intimate, director Christian Charles's documentary follows established comedian Jerry Seinfeld and up-and-comer Orny Adams as they navigate the highs and lows of the stand-up circuit. From writing and testing material to admiring the competition -- including Chris Rock's kudos for Bill Cosby -- this engaging film looks at the details, insecurities and hard work involved in making people laugh.

See a man who had everything, who did a show about nothing, try to come up with something.
