Spoiler shield
Billy Braver used to be famous. In the 70s he headlined the biggest comedy clubs in New York and Los Angeles and appeared on legendary shows like Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, Hollywood Squares, and Dinah Shore. 30 years later he's selling SAABs at a dealership on the other side of the Hollywood Hills, telling his sob story to anyone who'll listen. But when the economy tanks, Billy is let go from SAAB. With no other jobs available he decides to give comedy another shot.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
