"Whaley's performance is earnest and often riveting." -Box Office Magazine

Jimmy O'Brien is a stand-up comedian - and not a very good one. Like any dreamer, he yearns to escape his roots and make it big. Jimmy lives with his high school sweetheart, their daughter and his invalid Grandmother Ruth in a sagging house with a run-down car.

As the pressures of his home-life mount, Jimmy vents his frustrations on stage. Like a poor man's Lenny Bruce, Jimmy lets fly with a biting commentary on the details of his life, until his own reality is blurred.

In the style of his acclaimed feature debut Joe the King, Frank Whaley's The Jimmy Show explores an America where dreams are sometimes few and far between.

With honesty, compassion and wit, The Jimmy Show reminds us that sometimes what we're searching for has been there all along.
