Mr. Saturday Night | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Billy Crystal stars and makes his directorial debut in this nostalgic, poignant story of a comedian who realizes that life is passing him by? and he may have missed the punch-line. Co-starring David Paymer in an Oscar?-nominated role and featuring standout performances by Julie Warner, Helen Hunt and Ron Silver, 'Mr. Saturday Night' makes you laugh as it touches you with its heart of comic gold.

After forty years of struggling to reach the top, funny man Buddy Young, Jr. (Crystal), is still fighting his way to the middle. Buddy sharpens his act by delivering hilariously cutting insults to his audience.. and his family and friends. But when he goes too far and his brother/manager (Paymer) has had enough, Buddy faces the ultimate decision: To press on with his dying career or finally put the spotlight on the ones he loves?
