Jon Richardson: The Knitwit
In his stand up show at the Hackney Empire, the Cats Does Countdown star asks the important questions. Will the recycling go out on the right day? Who's going to smooth over the top of the margarine?
Punchline
Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.
Lilah Krytsick is a mother and housewife who's always believed she could be a stand-up comedian. Steven Gold is an experienced stand-up seemingly on the cusp of success. When the two meet, they form an unlikely friendship, and Steven tries to help the untried Lilah develop her stage act. Despite the objections of her family and some very wobbly beginnings, Lilah improves, and soon she finds herself competing with Steven for a coveted television spot.
