Dunc’s life is run-of-the-mill until he stumbles across Bren, a young woman who’s about to end her life. Dunc strikes a deal with Bren: if he can’t make her laugh at dinner the following night, he’ll let her go through with it. Realizing he needs assistance, Dunc borrows Pat, once called The Funniest Man Alive, for a life-or-death comedy lesson.
