Yes Sir! Wednesday was WILD! Wednesday was RUGGED!

Comedy

Twenty-three years after scoring the winning touchdown for his college football team mild-mannered Harold Diddlebock, who has been stuck in a dull, dead-end book-keeping job for years, is let go by his pompous boss, advertising tycoon J.E. Wagglebury, with nothing but a tiny pension. Harold, who never touches the stuff, takes a stiff drink with his new pal... and another, and another. What happened Wednesday?

VIBE

A dizzying, boozy descent into delightful chaos. Expect a whirlwind of absurd situations and unexpected turns as a mild-mannered man embraces a wild night. It's pure, unadulterated, old-school comedic anarchy.
