The Act background

The Act

A stand-up comedian's world is upended when a surprise revelation threatens to upend both her professional and personal relationships.

Comedian Rosy Marconi takes the stage at the Ha Ha Hut, sharing humorous anecdotes about her recent divorce and her ex-husband Stan, who had made laziness a way of life. As she performs, the film cuts back and forth between her stand-up routine and her quiet moments at home, where she smokes and drinks whiskey as she completes her evening tasks. Despite her on-stage success, Rosy's comedy is rooted in her personal struggles and the people in her life.
