In this gritty comedy-drama, Maxine Peake takes center stage as a determined stand-up comedian navigating the unforgiving working men's club scene of 1970s Northern England. Using her troubled past as material and fueled by a relentless drive for success, or perhaps just survival, she grapples with the harsh realities of a male-dominated industry where every punchline is a battle and every laugh is hard-earned.
Seventeen-year-old Kat Malone, a music-obsessed high school student, dreams of breaking into the industry. When she stumbles upon a struggling band called Dollar Days, she seizes the opportunity by posing as a seasoned band manager in her twenties. As Kat navigates the challenges of the music world and her double life, she discovers that managing a band is much harder than it seems, yet the experience may be the key to discovering who she truly is.
