Meet Madhu - super funny, painfully honest and completely lost. Can she achieve comedy stardom and stay true to herself? A hilarious, poignant comedy about finding your voice for everyone who has ever dreamed big, from an award-winning author.
Madhu is 17 and has the weight of the world on her shoulders: her dad is putting pressure on her to apply to university, she misses her estranged sister but contact is strictly forbidden, and she´s pulling in every single shift possible at a pizza place to help support her family. What she really wants, though, is to be a world-famous stand-up comedian ...
Just as she´s about to turn her back on this dream a YouTube clip of Madhu goes viral and she is suddenly catapulted into the bright lights of stardom. It´s not long before she catches the attention of a fellow Asian comedy legend who offers her the chance of a lifetime.
But the road to comedy glory is not a barrel of laughs - and Madhu´s own struggles with her family and identity soon catch up with her. Can she follow her dreams and stay true to herself and those she loves in the process?
