“You want me to put my name on your show?” Freestyle Digital Media has revealed an official trailer for a comedy film titled Stealing Jokes, a meta comedy about stand up comics getting revenge. This is written and directed by comedian Mike Young, who is also originally from Detroit, and it was filmed in Detroit; this release is timed to his new Rocket Comedy tour this month before hitting VOD in November to watch at home.
