Comedian and national treasure Dave Thursby has died, and on the day of his funeral, friends and colleagues gather beside his coffin to pay their last respects. There's Harvey, who wrote Dave's material; Vi, Harvey's wife; Kevin, Dave's agent, and Kevin's wife Jane. Dave's glamorous widow Laura has arranged a funeral to remember, complete with a horse-drawn hearse and an attendant dog. An unfamiliar woman in flamboyant mourning clothes turns out to be Kay, who was known to Dave before he was famous. After a series of revelations Kevin reacts totally out of character and all the guests ask themselves if they ever knew the "real" Dave. |
Der Komiker und Nationalheld Dave Thursby ist gestorben. Am Tag seiner Beerdigung versammeln sich Freunde und Kollegen an seinem Sarg, um ihm die letzte Ehre zu erweisen. Mit dabei sind Harvey, Daves Pointen-Schreiber; Vi, Harveys Frau; Kevin, Daves Agent, und Kevins Frau Jane. Daves glamouröse Witwe Laura hat eine unvergessliche Beerdigung organisiert, komplett mit Pferdekutsche und Ehrenspalier. Eine unbekannte Frau in extravaganter Trauerkleidung entpuppt sich als Kay, die Dave aus der Zeit kannte bevor er berühmt war. Nach einer Reihe von Enthüllungen reagiert Kevin völlig untypisch und alle Gäste fragen sich, ob sie den „wahren“ Dave jemals gekannt haben. |
