So we're on a barge, and he told me the story.
We met through a mutual friend, and he told me the story of how he became a standup, which I found really inspiring.
And that's how it happened.
And so his story of that was kind of the kicking off point of inspiring us to write this film.
I immediately called my writing partner, Mark Chappell, who we were talking about before the show.
He's a great guy, hilarious writer, and we worked together many times before.
I said, we gotta do this movie about John Bishop.
Do you know his story?
I've been thinking about that.
I know that story and I've wanted to do something.
So that's how we started.
And we brought Bradley.
We were talking about with Bradley, sort of send him this stuff that we've been working on.
And he said, great, can I come in?
And what you guys have written is shit.
Do you mind if I write a good script?
Not how that went down.
