Brody Stevens: Enjoy it! S1

The documentary takes us through the history of Stevens' life, starting with the death of his grandfather. At his funeral, Stevens tells a joke which is seen to be funny by his mother. She encourages him to entertain others with his jokes and takes him on the road during her stand-up tours. His father asks him to try to make money as a business rather than being an artist. He also has a spell in rehab as he is trying to deal with drinking issues. By the end of the documentary, we are back at his grandfather's funeral where Brody makes up a joke on the spot, but it loses something compared to what he thought up before while thinking of his grandpa.
