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 were considered by many as the flashpoint of the biggest national stand-up explosion ever - a scene boiling over with comedians possessed with a precarious blend of originality, pure desire, and good old fashioned desperation.

Through a series of candid interviews, news reports and never-before-seen bootleg footage, Frank Solomita takes you through an unfiltered and hilarious view of the comedians who came up here, what they did to survive and where they are today.
