Facing middle age and with his marriage unravelling, Alex (Arnett) finds a new purpose in the New York comedy scene after signing up for an open mic night to avoid paying a $15 cover in a bar. Tess (Dern) is confronting the sacrifices she made for their family in the wake of their split. In their mid-40s, Tess and Alex navigate co-parenting and their evolving relationship with each other and themselves in Bradley Cooper’s (A Star is Born, Maestro) critically acclaimed third film as director.

Is This Thing On? is a love letter to the New York comedy scene, with Alex starting out at New York’s famed Comedy Cellar. It is loosely based on the life of British comedian John Bishop, who co-wrote the film.
