You have to be crazy to do it. . .\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpence is a stand-up comedian whose claim to fame is a one-time appearance on \u003ci\u003eThe Late Late Show\u003c\/i\u003e. Eight years ago. Since then, he's been living on the road, working in clubs like The Comedy Crib or The Funny Farm or The Laff Shack--if he's lucky. More often than not, his agent lands him gigs in country western bars. On a good night, he gets free drinks; on a bad night, he offends the audience with dirty jokes. Spence's ex-wife thinks he should find a nice girl and settle down. His ex-wife's husband thinks he should stop having his mail sent to their house. What does Spence think? That trying to have a relationship on the road is no laughing matter. Especially when he meets Sam. . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe's smart, she's beautiful, and she's Canadian--but she's not putting up with his schtick. Sam wants Spence to drop the jokes and be himself, which is hard for a man who's funny for a living. But the closer they get, the more successful Spence becomes. Can a stand-up comic live happily ever after with the girl of his dreams. . .without it ending in a punchline? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eI'll Be Here All Week \u003c\/i\u003edoes more than offer a window into the life of a stand-up comic.
