Ellen DeGeneres: The Beginning

Critically acclaimed stand-up, writer and actor Tiff Stevenson (Mock the Week, People Just Do Nothing, The Office, Game Face and ABC's The Weekly) invites you to spend an hour with a woman and her self-diagnosed Sexy Brain... a study in trying to see all sides of every argument and driving yourself slowly mad in the process.

A hapless talent manager named Danny Rose, by helping a client, gets dragged into a love triangle involving the mob. His story is told in flashback, an anecdote shared amongst a group of comedians over lunch at New York's Carnegie Deli. Rose's one-man talent agency represents countless incompetent entertainers, including a one-legged tap dancer, and one slightly talented one: washed-up lounge singer Lou Canova, whose career is on the rebound.

Life has its downs for James, living with his mom in Chicago at 39, an aging performer at Second City, eating and weighing too much.

Someone's remaking his favorite movie, "Marty," a role he'd love, but he doesn't even get an audition.

Combining his trademark wit and self-deprecating humor with original music, Bo Burnham offers up his unique twist on life in this stand-up special about life, death, sexuality, hypocrisy, mental illness and Pringles cans.
