The Story
Three comedians walk into a bar. Two are legends. One is their son. This must be some kind of joke.
Stevie Wright is a struggling comedian with his father's (Steven Wright) timing, but none of his own punchlines. His life is upended when a long-buried secret is revealed: his other father is the legendary Andrew Dice Clay. Now, Stevie has become a bridge between two comedy icons who haven't spoken in thirty years.
Thrown into their orbit, Stevie must do more than just find his own voice; he must survive becoming the punchline to his fathers' thirty years of silence. The story unfolds in a symphony of voices—from Mike, the sardonic manager who orchestrates the chaos; to Stevie himself, the son turning pain into punchlines; to an all-knowing narrator who reveals the one story none of them can tell.
The Child of Comedy is a darkly funny and moving father-son story about family, identity, and finding your own voice in the space between silence and a roar.
