THIS GENTLE COMEDY DRAMA BASED ON THE LIFE OF FUNNYMAN JOHN BISHOP FINDS HUMOUR IN HEARTACHE
THE personal life of Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop provides loose inspiration for a thorny relationship comedy drama.
Co-written by director Bradley Cooper, lead actor Will Arnett and screenwriter Mark Chappell, Is This Thing On? professes the most honest and relatable humour is mined from the deepest heartache.
Alex Novak (Arnett) and wife Tess (Laura Dern) are in the early stages of separation, sensitively navigating the end of their marriage while caring for the mental wellbeing of their young sons, Felix (Blake Kane) and Jude (Calvin Knegten).
This story is from the January 30, 2026 edition of Nottingham Post.
