WHAT IS TOUGH CROWD?

A down-on-his-luck comedian and his long lost trans sister stumble through a violent criminal odyssey in one long night...

Tough Crowd is a CSUN Senior TV Pilot that follows RAY, a down-on-his-luck stand-up comedian who relies on shock value and offensive humor, and EVIE, Ray's long lost trans sister longing to connect with family. Their encounter together is interrupted by the RUSSIAN MAFIA, who mistake the pair for international assassins and coerce them into violent crimes.

This show will be dark, it will be funny, and it will be tense. It will take you on a ride through the valley and won't let go.
