An uplifting, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy's most enigmatic and important characters, CALL ME LUCKY informs the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, sexually outspoken and whip smart comic whose efforts from the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of stand up comedians. But under Crimmins' gruff curmudgeonly character set an undercurrent of rage coming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child -- in the political arena and a rage that eventually found its way.
