Call Me Lucky

An inspiring, triumphant, and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy's most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY chronicles Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 1970s and 1980s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. Yet beneath Crimmins' gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
