This October 6, 2023, buckle up for a heartwarming yet hilarious ride as Freestyle Digital Media drops the stand-up comedy-focused comedy-drama feature film The Road Dog.

The film follows an aging, alcoholic comedian named Jimmy Quinn, a veteran of stand-up comedy’s glory days.

When his long-estranged son, David, also an aspiring comedian, seeks him out, Jimmy offers to take him on the road and show him the ropes of the comedy circuit as he knew it. While their father-son relationship brews, tensions rise due to Jimmy’s self-destructive behavior, and ultimately, he must decide what he values most.
