The Movie

Joey Benefit was written by one of Hollywood’s most iconic comedy writers, Norman Steinberg.Steinberg has an array of accolades under his belt with hits such as Blazing Saddles, My Favorite Year, Wise Guys and Johnny Dangerously, to name a few. The basis of Steinberg’s Joey Benefit is about a man, a comedian, who ‘never had his big shot.’ With a heart of gold, Joey never turns down a benefit (“You got a charity? I got a tuxedo.”) …and the comedy and storyline follow all of the ups and downs that come along with a life spent trying to make people laugh. It’s the Wedding Singer meets Broadway Danny Rose.
