Neighborhood best friends and urban millennials Dan and Kevin hilariously climb the ladder to nowhere in Flatbush, Brooklyn. But even inside the losing, they find there are little wins that come from tackling hipsters, mental health issues and the rising tide of gentrification.
From the mind of comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a fun, irreverent mix of kooky characters, sly social commentary and pop culture gags.
Picking up where her debut special left off, Emmy®-nominated actor Yvonne Orji (HBO's Insecure) returns to the stage to offer up her point-of-view on the pandemic, estate planning, being the child of Nigerian immigrants and the brutal realities of dating. With a unique mash-up of stand-up comedy with scripted vignettes, Orji showcases the multi-hyphenate's range and vulnerability, while also serving as a no-holds-barred therapy session – for both the artist and the audience.
Dan and Kevin, longtime friends, adjust to their evolving surroundings in the community of Flatbush, Brooklyn. A raw comedy of city life, this prize-winning short served as the foundation for what became the critically-acclaimed Showtime series, Flatbush Misdemeanors. Made on zero-budget, the first installment of Flatbush became Oscar-qualified after winning Grand Jury Awards in its film festival run. Critics have called it "funny, smart, inventive and constantly surprising" and "street-level filmmaking at its finest."
In a Brooklyn barbershop, a respected owner's betrayal of a regular customer exposes deep-rooted tensions and unspoken truths within their tight-knit neighborhood.
