About this item

Review "...chronicling the epic rise and fall of the country s celebrated comedy hot spot loaded with authentic talent. -- Boston Herald "An irreverent documentary that is a nation of objective history and personal journey, -- Improper Bostonian "Hugely entertaining...this film captures a truly edgy, special time during Boston s golden years of comedy -- The Boston Globe Product Description It's no coincidence that some of the most cutting edge comics of this generation came out of the same city, at the same time. The Boston gold rush of the late 70s and early 80s was considered by many as the flashpoint of the biggest national stand-up explosion ever. A scene boiling over with comedians possessed with that precarious blend of originality, pure desire, and good old fashioned desperation. Through a series of candid interviews, old news reports and never before seen bootleg footage, we'll get an unfiltered and hilarious view of the people who came up here and what they did to survive, emerge and where they are today.
