β¦ Synopsis
Originally part of the UK alternative comedy scene, Andy de la Tour spent many years on the circuit, performing with the likes of Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle and French and Saunders. After a 20βyear break from standβup he returned to New York City, the genre's spiritual home, to start all over again in the backβrooms and dive bars of the Big Apple.

Will New Yorkers stomach his outsider's take on Obama, the Tea Party and 9/11? Andy's a long way from home and dying is not an option.
