A bit of a misfire in that it wants to be a serious drama about comics, at least in the scenes I remember, such as a suburban husband (Goodman) not approving of his wife's (Field) ambition to be a stand up comedienne.
But she's been taken under the wing of another ambitious comic in the making (Hanks), who grooms her to be a pro. When they both have a chance to compete in a cutthroat competition, they're pitted against each other, but all she wants to do is prove herself and win her husband's blessing.
I don't remember it being particularly funny, just a drama about stand up comedians.
