The Unbookables is a narrative documentary about stand-up comics who have spent their careers pushing limits--on stage and off. Relegated to small venues and touring in a crappy van through the Midwest they careen between the desire to succeed and the reality that there may be nothing left to lose. Road life is far from glamorous: comics come and go and cruel pranks and hard drinking punctuate their obsidian dark comedy on stage. They succeed and fail-spectacularly. When they face being fired for going too far on stage, the conflict culminates in a showdown: compromise or double down?
Recorded in October of 2019 at the Doug Stanhope Fun House in Bisbee, AZ, and directed by Paul Provenza (director of the 2005 film ‘The Aristocrats’), Last Shot is the first new material recorded by Andrist, a member of The Unbookables and a mainstay of Stanhope’s podcasts, since 2006’s Dumb It Down For The Masses.
