A filthy Christmas comedy! When a rebellious kid is denied his dream Christmas present by his mom, he goes to his estranged alcoholic father (who lies about being sober) with an idea: adapt the 12 Step program to teach me how to not be you.

Brian writes about f-ups a lot. He’s not one, but he spent enough time there to be deeply credible. Brian’s joke-heavy scripts explore hilarious topics like addiction, mental health, homelessness, and personal crisis. Sometimes broad, sometimes dark, the comedy disarms audiences so they can connect with what the stories are really about: the types of human relationships we all share. He’s unsigned and intent on fixing that.
