Rory Peters, a mixed-race newcomer to the stand-up scene, has just been invited to kickstart their stand-up career by their seasoned comic friend, Jacob. Joined by their mutual friend Stella in the green room, the three run through Jacob’s routine first before Rory’s, for any last-minute feedback right before their show starts.
​
However, they start to clash as Rory calls out Jacob’s overly “activist” and politically correct humour, that has just looped back around to overt bigotry and misunderstanding of oppression.
​
As Rory tries to bridge the gap between Jacob's seemingly well-met intentions and comedy, tensions rise between them and their two self-proclaimed politically correct friends, as the pair repeatedly ignore Rory’s input, despite the fact that they are ostensibly the target audience for Jacob’s entire routine.
