A highly recommended little gem, that actually made me laugh. A love letter to sierra games graphically. Took about an hour to complete, the puzzles are fun, and the voice acting is actually really good. Shame there is little more from the content creator.

A great game with a mix of graphic touch from the past!

The moment I saw that the characters look like they were pulled out from the AGI version of "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" I wanted to play this game. And when I read that it's a stand-up comedy game where the main character is actually a comedian doing gigs, that very reminded me of Seinfeld like someone else has mentioned in the comments. And as a Seinfeld fan this was another reason that made me want to play it.

If you never played old Sierra AGI/SCI games then don't let the old-style graphics mislead you - come with an opened mind and try it. Although this game is on the short side, it's great and very funny! This is the kind of games that don't need to be with rich deep graphics to be a success - it's the good story and the light way that it was built upon. Add to that some nice music and good voice acting and you've got a gem! Honestly, I do voice acting myself and therefore know to distinguish professional work - this work is exactly that and I really liked the voice-actors performance.

On the technical side, I found that sometimes when you click on something like picking an inventory item it doesn't do anything, and when you move your mouse pointer a little and try again then it does; this is probably due to in-accurate hotspots, but it's not a big deal as you know that what you just clicked that didn't work actually should, and you just try again and it then does. If there was perhaps a description text line when you hover over hotspots then that would have been a better experience, but it's not a deal-breaker without it either. Besides that,
I have found that the easter-egg bit in the bathroom can be triggered multiple times, and so the points can go above the total points you can earn if you keep triggering it; I thought that it’s designed to be that way and that something happens when the total points is reached, but it did not and just add more points above the total number.

Overall, this is a very nice, easy and funny game to spend an evening on. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks for making and sharing! :)

Somehow I missed this, but that's in the past now.

Haha, I did enjoy this charming game. I just love the main character in this, so enthusuatic and raring to be heard, and then we have the other characters who are just like 'Whatever!' or not all of them, but most.

The character you control can hone his comedy on the surroundings around him, by using his notebook on funny stuff.

All in all, the game is not too challenging, but it definitely made me smile. I recommend playing.

Comedy gold! This might be the adventure game equivalent of Seinfield. The game plays out like a typical day in the life of your average Joe / budding comedian where, as well as perfecting your comedy routine, you're also doing the other mundane routine things like feeding the cat or paying the rent.

The graphics are retro and cute. Voice acting is brilliant, performed by actual comedian types I believe. There are a few characters that made me laugh out loud. And I'm sure I've seen that weird guy in the hat before wandering around Frankston..
