The story

What Is Cracking Up About?

The premise of Cracking Up without spoilers.

Danny Gold is a Lenny‑Bruce‑style performance artist whose raw brilliance is matched only by a compulsive urge to self‑destruct. As a cad, shark, comic and addict, he rockets and ricochets across Manhattan’s gritty Lower East Side, leaving behind a string of shattered relationships and burnt bridges, turning comedy into a stark, no‑laughing‑matter exploration of chaos.
