It happens to be quite funny. Not that comedies have to be very funny these days...

James Buckley plays real comedian James Mullinger in a British film blending fact and fiction, with comics appearing as themselves. Trouble is, it's not funny.
Leslie Felperin, The Guardian, 27th October 2016The Comedian's Guide to Survival review
Films about comedians are rarely funny, but The Comedian's Guide To Success breaks that curse by taking the angst and insider jokes of Louis CK's Louie and playing it broader, less arthouse. It's flawed, but with the movie taking its own advice about persistence, director and writer Mark Murphy more than gets away with it.
