I loved The Opening Act, it's so funny :D one of the best comedy movies ever!!! It has (like many movies) a message, that it's best to tell the truth, but above all it was very funny. This movie is absolutely hilarious!
Some of the stand up bits are funny but there's no major laugh out loud moments for me.
I don't know the fella this is based on, I just saw him on Bill Burr's podcast so I gave the film a watch. It does make it cooler knowing that the stories are all semi-true, especially the whole cop thing.
Some great guest stars (as an Englishman I didn't know all of them though) and it is a nice story. But, now I don't know how far the fella this is based on is in his career (I probably should of looked that up before writing a review) but I assume it's further than where the film ends which I'll get to...
It's a very nicey nicey film and I was never bored, but it seemed like this should of been a TV series to me. The closer and closer I got to the end, I worked out what the finish would be and that disappointed me a little as I feel it should of gone further into this blokes career. Which would of been totally possible in, as I said, a TV series.
Worth a watch especially if you like stand up and if you know some of the guest stars in it.

This film gives a great insight into not only the world of stand up comedy, but what it is to go for you dreams. Many laugh out loud moments with this great cast, and a real depth to the story.
Simple, funny and overall entertaining; "The Opening Act" does a great job at offering viewers an inside look at stand-up comedy thanks to writer/director Steve Byrne's personal approach.
In this comedy, an open mic comic is given the opportunity to emcee a comedy show opening for his comedic hero, but must decide if he wants to continue the life set-up for him or follow his dream.
I loved this film. Not only do things look promising for lead actor Jimmy Yang, but comedian/writer/director Steve Byrne hits a home run. The way the movie is shot and the way it unfolds, you can clearly see how Byrne wanted "The Opening Act" to be different than other films about stand-up comedy and how much heart he put into it. The supporting cast is terrific and overall a feel-good film. If you love comedy, you'll love "The Opening Act".
