The story of Del Close, the comedy guru who trained an untold number of our most beloved comedians, from John Belushi to Tina Fey. Onstage, he helped revolutionize comedy by demanding that it confront life's most brutal truths. Offstage, he blazed a gleeful path of self-destruction, blurring fact and fiction, comedy and tragedy. As we become entangled in Del's contradictions, the guru brings us up as close as we can bear to the messy heart of Comedy itself.
