The Comics Open is the hilarious story of what happens when a group of standup comedians plans a charity golf tournament. Their goals were to raise money for children's chairities and in the process, buy themselves some good will. What they accomplish is just about putting an end to stand up comedy and comedy clubs in their fair city. They accomplish that by pledgeing more money than is possible to raise for all the charities and promising celebrities to play in the tournament and perform in the show afterwards but none of them show up. The Comics Open is saved by a miracle from a source that no one would ever suspect. Readers won't need to know a bogey from a birdie to enjoy The Comics Open--they just need to know how to laugh.
