Doug Stanhopes the Unbookables 2012 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
