How it feels

This documentary follows a group of stand-up comedians known for performing offensive and dark material. They travel through the Midwest in a worn-out van, struggling with a lack of mainstream success while dealing with heavy drinking and cruel pranks among themselves. The film captures their conflicts when they are threatened with being fired for their extreme onstage acts.
