American Comic is a verite-style mockumentary that follows two up-and-coming stand-up comedians from opposing sides of the comedy cultural divide. Jay Christopher is a grungy, Midwestern podcaster who thinks of himself as a "free speech" warrior. Jovan is a stylish, LA-based industry climber kiss-ass. Joe Kwaczala plays them both. Will their incessant drive for attention fuel a journey to success or will their narcissism ultimately get in the way? As the story unfolds, the stakes only get higher and an unexpected twist changes everything.
