Bobcat Goldthwait's 'Call Me Lucky' Dated for Blu-ray

The documentary film is now availale for pre-order.     

In an early announcement to retailers, MPI Home Video is preparing 'Call Me Lucky' for Blu-ray on October 13.

An inspiring, triumphant and poignant portrait of one of comedy's most enigmatic and important figures, 'Call Me Lucky' tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena. Featuring intimate interviews with both comedians and activists alike, director Bobcat Goldthwait s (World's Greatest Dad, God Bless America) 'Call Me Lucky' bravely tells Crimmins incredible story of transformation from a rage-fueled funnyman into an acclaimed proponent of justice who personified the healing power of comedy.
