Son Of A Stand Up Comedian

Synopsis:
an authentic Scottish Jewish guitar playing rocker, Goodman tells his story of living and surviving the Soho music scene in the '80's; as an artist, lover, and ultimately, a father. The "son of a stand up comedian," Goodman's songs tell a story of love and hope, a story due in no small part to arthur Miller. With wry wit and uncompromising honesty, Son of a Stand Up Comedian captures the unique sights and sounds, challenges and complexities of life as an artist in Manhattan.
