Synopsis:

An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedys most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
