All Herman wanted was to live in his castle alone, but when health and safety laws force him out he is forced to live a life of stand-up comedy in the town below his castle. Possessing no skill whatsoever in the art of comedy, he runs from bar to nightclub to bar again. That is, till a seedy little poetry club takes him in for his “raw” talent behind the mic and deep back story filled with emotional turmoil. To get through his dark spot in life he relies on a bar waitress who is hopelessly in-love and a compassionate historical society member. Herman is also being violently attacked by the local Church Choir for allegations of witchcraft and sorcery.
