LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released comedian/filmmaker Mike Young’s action-comedy feature film STEALING JOKES, which is now available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting November 1, 2024.
In STEALING JOKES, comedian Jake Burman and friends head out on tour. After getting stiffed for their pay on their first gig, they decide to rob the venue which sets the stage for a hilarious heist through the comedy underworld.
The digital release of STEALING JOKES coincides with Mike Young’s recently announced 25-city Rock Comedy tour, which launched October 11, 2024, in Phoenix. Along with Young, a handpicked lineup of comic headliners are featured on the tour – with each comedian contributing their unique brand of humor. After touring globally with Bob Saget, Sebastian Maniscalco, Russell Peters, and Dave Chapelle, Mike Young wrote and directed his third feature film, STEALING JOKES in Detroit — where Rock Comedy will land for its finale show. The 25 cities that makeup Rock Comedy also include Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, and Phoenix.
STEALING JOKES was written and directed by Mike Young (MY MAN IS A LOSER), and produced by Michael Manasseri and Jeremy Alter. The film features veteran and rising comedians and actors, including Jeff Dye (THE WEDDING YEAR), Dustin Ybarra (EASTER SUNDAY), HaHa Davis (DOMINO: BATTLE OF THE BONES), Ryu Go Eun (EVERYTHING’S TRASH), Michael Rapaport (BEAUTIFUL GIRLS), Al Madrigal (NIGHT SCHOOL), and Michael Manasseri (WEIRD SCIENCE).
“I’ve always wanted to make a film about comedians getting their due. After years opening for Bob Saget and seeing first-hand the global influence of standup comedy, I thought what better way to tell the story than through an underdog tale about standup comics,” said comedian/filmmaker Mike Young. “The cast blew me away. Jeff Dye and Dustin Ybarra were amazing, Ha Ha Davis is a star on the rise and Luke Null was incredible. I couldn’t be prouder of STEALING JOKES. Shooting in Detroit – the hometown of myself and Byron Allen — was the cherry on top.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire STEALING JOKES directly with filmmaker Mike Young.
