Crying with Laughter is an intensely edgy comedy-thriller about a controversial, confrontational stand up comic, Joey Frisk, played with gusto by Stephen McCole. Joey’s life comes apart at the seams just as he gets the opportunity of a big break. An American talent scout comes to see his act in his native Edinburgh, but his cocaine addiction, family and money problems all reach fever pitch, not to mention all the enemies lined up from assorted invective-strewn stage rants and a disturbing encounter with a shady character from his past.
