Film Synopsis

Meet “Dillion”, an English man down on his luck, drowning his sorrows in whiskey and strip clubs on Sunset Blvd after a messy breakup. He’s quit his real estate job in New York and thrown caution to the wind, maxing out all his credit cards. Dill’s goal? To live the craziest, wildest life without a care in the world for anyone even pushing local kids into the bay while they’re fishing – not cool, Dill!

Dill’s days consist of stealing food & liquor from the local market stores, reveling in the confrontation when caught.  One day, he staggers into a lowlife standup comedy bar, where the comedian’s jokes are so bad that Dillion can’t help but heckle him. The crowd finds Dill’s heckling funnier than the standup, and he becomes an unexpected sensation, getting a standing ovation.

Embracing his newfound talent, Dill starts attending comedy shows to heckle the very best comedians, causing chaos and hilarity wherever he goes.

Famous comedians make cameos, battling wits with Dill in epic comedic showdowns. It’s like the Comedy Olympics, and Dill is the heckling champ! He starts to love all this new attention.

But Dill’s ego meets its match when he encounters Mailis, the love interest who humiliates him in front of the entire audience.

This “heckling gone wrong” moment forces Dill to reflect on his sorry state of life. He even ends up floating in the bay one morning, and we’re left wondering if it was a drunken mishap or a pitiful suicide attempt.

Enter Hipp, a local drug pin and party promoter who saves Dill from his watery fate. Hipp introduces Dill to a wild world of lavish sex parties and mind-bending drugs. Suddenly, life doesn’t seem so bad after all. But, beneath all the excess, Dill can’t shake thoughts of Mailis, his muse, and his feelings of regret for being such a jerk.

With newfound clarity, Dill decides to change his ways and pursue Mailis, who has now moved to New York for a big standup show. He spends his days making jokes and drumming up support for her performance, even pulling strings to get famous Hollywood agents to attend.

On the night of Mailis’s standup, she’s nervous and faltering, but when Dill stands up she allows her to roast him to death and completely humiliate him in front of the star studded crowd.

The audience laughs uproariously at Mailis’s brutal put-down to thunderous applause.
Dill’s act of kindness touches Mailis deeply, and a famous Hollywood talent agency offers to represent her.

They walk hand in hand down Broadway, their lives forever changed by comedy, redemption, and a little bit of stalking.

So there you have it, the story of Dill, the heckling hero, who turns his life around by spreading laughter and love, and finally finding his happy ending with Mailis.

It’s a tale of comedy, chaos, and redemption – a story that proves there’s hope for even the biggest assholes among us.
