Club stories, personal wreckage and candid guest exchanges make comedy's uncertain working life unusually visible.
One Hot Mess turns the working life of comedy into loose, candid conversation. Kim Sherwood and Mark Sester move between road stories, failed exercise, dating, travel and technical mishaps, while club politics and the mechanics of improving a set remain close at hand.
